According to Law of Triangle of Forces
three forces acting at a point, can be rep-resented by the sides of a triangle, each side being in proportion to the force
three forces acting along the sides of a triangle are always in equilibrium
if three forces acting on a, point can be represented.in magnitude and direction, by the sides of a triangle taken in order, these will be in equilibrium
if three forces acting at a point are in equilibrium each force is proportional to the sine of the angle between the other two
if the forces acting on a particle be represented in magnitude and direction by the two sides of a triangle taken in order, their resultant will be represented in magnitude and direction by the third side of the triangle, taken in opposite order.

The following is not a law of static friction :
The force of friction always acts in a direction opposite to that in which the body tends to move
The force of friction is dependent upon the area of contact
The force of friction depends upon the roughness of the surface
The magnitude of the limiting friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between two surfaces.
