1. The document defines concurrent force systems as forces that intersect at one point.
2. It states that equilibrium occurs when the resultant of all forces acting on a particle is zero.
3. Varignon's theorem states that the moment of the resultant of concurrent forces is equal to the sum of the moments about the same point.
