Which is the correct statement about law of polygon of forces ?
  • (A)  if any number of forces acting at a point can be represented by the sides of a polygon taken in order, then the forces are in equilibrium
  • (B)  if any number of forces acting at a point can be represented in direction and magnitude by the sides of a polygon, then the forces are in equilibrium
  • (C)  if a polygon representing forces acting at a point is closed then forces are in equilibrium
  • (D)  if any number of forces acting at a point can be represented in direction and magnitude by the sides of a polygon taken in order, then the forces are in equilibrium
