Concurrent forces refer to two or several forces whose lines of action intersect at the same location, which then causes a rotation. These forces act in conjunction with one another.

Concurrent forces are forces that all act on a single point but have different lines of action. These forces can be resolved into components that act in different directions. The equilibrium of a body under concurrent forces can be analyzed using vector diagrams.
Concurrent forces are forces that share a common point of intersection, causing them to act through a single point. Non-concurrent forces do not share a common point of intersection and their lines of action do not meet at a single point.
Concurrent forces are forces that act on a single point but have different lines of action. The resultant of concurrent forces is found by resolving the forces into components and adding them vectorially.
Concurrent coplanar forces have their lines of action intersecting at a common point, allowing them to be resolved using the parallelogram law of forces. Non-concurrent coplanar forces have their lines of action not intersecting at a common point, requiring the use of the triangle law of forces for resolution.
Force systems can be classified as concurrent, parallel, or non-concurrent. Concurrent force systems have all forces intersecting at a common point. Parallel force systems have forces acting in the same direction. Non-concurrent force systems have forces that do not meet at a common point.
In the case of concurrent forces in equilibrium, the magnitude of the resultant force is zero. This means that the forces are balanced and cancel each other out, resulting in no net force acting on the object.
