Concurrent Force System

Parallel Force System

The forces are all parallel to only one axis.


The moment of resultant force about any point is
equal to the sum of moments of the original forces
of the system about the same point.

Non-Concurrent Force System


The most common type of force system occurs
when the forces all act in a single plane, say, the x-y
plane, as illustrated by the system of three forces
F1, F2, and F3 as shown below

Sample Problem 1
Two rods and one cable are attached to the support at
O. If two of the forces are as shown, determine the
magnitude F and direction of the third force so that
the resultant of
the three forces is
vertically downward
with a magnitude
of 1200 lb.

Sample Problem 2
Replace the two forces acting on the bent pipe by a
single equivalent force R. Specify the distance y from
point A to the line of action of R

Sample Problem 3

Sample Problem 4

Determine the resultant of the four forces and one


couple which act on the plate shown.

Determine (a) the magnitude of the Resultant R (b)


direction, (c) distance of the line of action d, dx,
dy. Take point C as reference

Sample Problem 5
The flanged steel cantilever beam with riveted
bracket is subjected to the couple and two forces
shown, and their effect on the design of the
attachment at A must be determined. Replace the
two forces and couple by an equivalent couple M and
resultant force R at A.
