Non-Concurrent Non-Parallel Force System
• To calculate resultant of such force system, O1 F
first we need to understand moment.
• A moment on a body tends to cause it to d1
turn or rotate. d2
• Moment is simply defined as product of
force, and perpendicular distance between O2
the line of action of force and the axis of Moment @ pt. O1 = F X d1 (CCW)
rotation of the body. Moment @ pt. O2 = F X d2 (CW)

• Moment of Couple: Figure B F


• A couple is formed by two parallel forces
having equal magnitude and opposite d
direction, and separated by a finite
distance. F

• The magnitude of couple is given as
