 “Stuff you don’t do after you take Statics”
• Equivalent forces
• 3-D problems
• that require calculation of moment about an axis
• Centroids
• problems that require integration
• Moment of Inertia
• problems that require integration; parallel axis

Example 1

lm

A structural member is subjected to a couple moment M and forces

F1 and F2 as shown in Fig. 4-37a. Replace this system by an equivalent
resultant force and couple moment acting at its base, point O.
