34
If the resultant force on a particle is zero, the particle will remain at rest or continue to move in a straight line.
Newton’s First Law
35
A particle will have an acceleration proportional to a non-zero resultant applied force.
Newton’s Second Law
36
The forces of action and reaction between two particles have the same magnitude and line of action with opposite sense
Newton’s Third Law
37
It states that the external effect of a force on a body is the same for all points of application along its line of action.
Principle of transmissibility of a force
