Resultant of a force system and its importance
Basic terminologies: Force and moment
Force: It is an external agency acting on the body which will cause the motion of the
body from one location to another
Moment: The turning tendency of the body due to application of a force on it about a
particular point is called moment. Moment magnitude is given by force *
perpendicular distance

What is resultant?
It is a single equivalent force acting on a body producing the same effect as that of multiple
forces producing on it.
