Lecture 5 - Resultant Forces (Two and Three Dimensional)

This document contains information about resultants and their application to solving static equilibrium problems involving forces and couples acting on rigid bodies. It provides definitions and examples of using a resultant vector approach to replace systems of forces and couples with equivalent single forces and couples. Sample problems demonstrate determining the resultant of groups of forces and couples and replacing systems with equivalent single forces and couples applied at a single point.

RESULTANTS (Three dimensional)
The concurrent forces may then be added vectorially to produce a
resultant force R, and the couples may also be added to produce a
resultant couple M. The general force system, then is reduced to
