What is concurrent forces in space?

When all the forces of a force system act in one plane it is called coplanar force system. If the forces act in more than one plane then it is forces in space. In this case forces are not contained in one plane. When all the forces of a system pass through a common point they are called concurrent forces. Thus we have concurrent coplanar forces when all forces are in one plane and pass through a common point. Also when forces in space pass through a common point we have concurrent forces in space.


Why does the space shuttle carry oxygen?

The space shuttle carries oxygen for the astronauts to breathe. It is necessary for sustaining human life in the spacecraft since there is no atmosphere beyond Earth's atmosphere. Oxygen is also used for various life support systems and for maintaining a safe environment inside the shuttle.


What are the differences between plane forces and space forces?

In plane forces, all forces are confined to a two-dimensional plane, while in space forces, forces can act in three dimensions. Plane forces involve only forces in the x and y axes, while space forces can include forces in the z axis as well. Space forces require vector analysis in three dimensions, while plane forces use scalar analysis in two dimensions.

What is the space around a charged object where electric forces act?
