01. Two equal and opposite parallel forces whose lines of action are different, can be replaced by a single force parallel to the given forces.
02. The maximum displacement of a body, from its mean position is called amplitude.
03. The acceleration of a particle moving with simple harmonic motion is proportional to the displacement of the particle from the mean position.
04. The force which acts along the radius of a circle and directed away from the centre of the circle is called centrifugal force.
05. If the resultant of a number of forces acting on a body is zero, then the body will not be in equilibrium.
06. The angle of the inclined plane at which a body just begins to slide down the plane, is called helix angle.

08. The time taken by a particle for one complete oscillation is known as periodic time.
09. A machine which is capable of doing work in the reversed direction, after the effort is removed, is called a non-reversible machine.
10. When a particle moves along a circular path, its acceleration has two components, one is normal component and the other is tangential component of acceleration.
11. When a particle moves along a straight path, there will be centripetal acceleration as well as tangential acceleration.
