Equilibrium is the state in which the competing influences of a system are balanced. In this experiment‚ four activities were conducted to study equilibrium namely Equilibrant Force‚ First Condition for Equilibrium‚ Locating the Center of Gravity and Second Condition of Equilibrium. The % Error obtained for the following activities were 14.13% and 2.35% for Activity 1‚ 4.90% for Activity 2 and 7.52% for Activity 4.

1 BASIC CONCEPTS 1.1 INTRODUCTION Concrete is strong in compression‚ but weak in tension: its tensile strength varies from 8 to 14 percent of its compressive strength. Due to such a low tensile capacity‚ flexural cracks develop at early stages of loading. In order to reduce or prevent such cracks from developing‚ a concentric or eccentric force is imposed in the longitudinal direction of the structural element. This force prevents the cracks from developing by eliminating or considerably

Indeed‚ this popular view of what mathematics is‚ and what is required to be good at it‚ is extremely prevalent; yet it would be laughed at
