    - Forces passing through a common point are known as concurrent forces.



    - Forces F1, F2, F3 pass through a common point X.

    - If any one force does not pass through the common point, then it creates an unbalanced moment which causes rotation.

    - Therefore, for a body to be equilibrium state not only the forces should pass through a common point but also they should have same magnitude and direction.

    - The condition, Σ Fx = Σ Fy = 0 should be satisfied.

    - Tug of war is a good example for concurrent forces. The concurrent forces intersect at a same point i.e at the middle of rope.
