Resolution of a force into force couple system
• Resolution of force into equivalent: force – couple system at B
• M = Rxd, is the moment of the force system about any point, B
Determine (i) the resultant of the given force system (ii) point where
the resultant force will meet arm AB. (iii) Take A as the origin, find Y
intercept (iv) ⊥ distance of line of action of resultant force from origin
Determine (i) the resultant of the given force system (ii) point where the
resultant force will meet arm AB. (iii) Take A as the origin, find Y intercept
(iv) ⊥ distance of line of action of resultant force from origin
Find the resultant of the four forces acting as shown in figure.
Also find the intercept of the resultant on X axes. Choose a
suitable co-ordinate axes system
Determine the resultant of the system of forces shown in figure.
Locate the point where resultant cuts base AB.
