The moment of resultant of concurrent forces with respect to a center in their plane is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments of components with respect to same center. This theorem is known as
- A. Theorem of Varignon
- B. Method of moments
- C. Theorem of equilibrium of active forces
- D. Theorem of three forces
Answer: A. Theorem of Varignon
Explanation: Varignon's Theorem states that the moment of a resultant of two or more concurrent forces about any point is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments of the individual forces about that same point.
