Explain the unlike parallel forces in the given figure?
Difficulty: Easy
An apple is suspended by a string. The string is stretched due to the weight of the apple. The forces acting on it are; the weight of the apple acting vertically downwards and the tension in the string pulling it vertically upwards. The two forces are parallel but opposite to each other. These forces are called parallel forces.
In the figure, Forces F1 and F2 are also unlike parallel Forces, because they are parallel and opposite to each Other. But F1 and F2 are not acting along the same line and Hence, they are capable to rotate the body.
