A body is in equilibrium under the action of three coplanar forces P, Q and R as shown in the figure. Select the correct statement

\((a) \frac{P}{\sin \alpha} = \frac{Q}{\sin \beta} = \frac{R}{\sin \gamma} \\ (b) \frac{P}{\cos \alpha} = \frac{Q}{\cos \beta} = \frac{R}{\cos \gamma} \\ (c) \frac{P}{\tan \alpha} = \frac{Q}{\tan \beta} = \frac{R}{\tan \gamma} \\ (d) \frac{P}{\sin \beta} = \frac{Q}{\sin \gamma} = \frac{R}{\sin \alpha}\)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
According to Lami's theorem
\(\frac{P}{\sin \alpha} = \frac{Q}{\sin \beta} = \frac{R}{\sin \gamma}\)
