 Introduction

The resultant is a reprehensive force which has the same

effect on the body as the group of forces it replaces. Or a simplest force

which can replace the original forces system without changing its

external effect on a rigid body. When the resultant is zero, then the

body is in equilibrium and the original force system in this case called a

balanced.

The symbol of resultant force is: The unit of resultant force is :Newton

The resultant is applied for different type of forces system as:

1.Coplanar forces system A.Concurrent coplanar forces system ‫متالقية في‬

‫مستو واحد‬B.Non-concurrent coplanar forces system ‫غير متالقية وفي مستو‬

‫واحد‬

2
2.Non coplanar forces system A.Concurrent non-coplanar forces system

‫متالقية و ليست في مستو واحد‬B.Non-concurrent non-coplanar forces system

‫غير متالقية وليست في مستو واحد‬2

2.1Resultant of Concurrent Coplanar Forces System Let the two forces

F1 and F2 acting on the pin shown in Fig (a). The resultant of these two

forces is the diagonal of the parallelogram as shown .These forces can

be added together to form the resultant FR = F1 + F2 Fig (b),From this

construction, or using the triangle rule Fig (c), we can apply the low of

cosine or the low of sines to the triangle in order to obtain the

magnitude of the resultant force and its direction. Note that the

resultant must pass through the point of concurrence

If there are more forces in the system, start from O as shown in figure

below and draw 𝐹1,then 𝐹2 from the tip of 𝐹1 and 𝐹3 from the tip of

𝐹2 .The resultant is represented by the vector from O to the tip of 𝐹3 .

We will find out the resultant force for many forces acting on a rigid

body by using the following equations:- RX = ∑FX RY = ∑FY R = √RX 2 +

RY 2 The direction of resultant force may be determined as:

𝜃 = tan−1 ( RY RX )

Where θ is the angle between the resultant and the x axis. The

resultant passes through the point of concurrence of the forces of the

system, and its sense can be detetmined from the components RX and

RY

Example (1):- Find the resultant force for the concurrent coplanar force

system, shown in figure

4
Solution:- → RX = ∑FX = 200 2 √5 − 100 cos 60 + 90cos45 = +192.4 N →

↑ RY = ∑FY

= 200 1 √5 − 100 sin 60 − 90sin45 = −60.8 N = 60.8N ↓ R = √(RX) 2 + (RY)

2 = √(192.4) 2 + (60.8) 2 = 202 N 𝜃 = tan−1 ( RY RX ) 𝜃 = tan−1 ( 60.8

192.4 ) = 17.5

Example(2): Determine the resultant force for the forces system shown

in figure.

Solution:- → RX = ∑FX =250 -200cos 45=108.6N→ ↑ RY = ∑FY =100 -200

sin 45=-41.4N = 41.4N ↓ R = √(RX) 2 + (RY) 2 =√(108.6) 2 + (41.4) 2

=116.2 N 𝜃 = tan−1 ( RY RX )

𝜃 = tan−1 ( 41.4 108.6 ) = 20.8

Example (3):- The 1000 N force is a resultant of two forces, one of

which is 600 N, Determine the other force.

Solution:- → RX = ∑FX −1000 cos 60 = 600 3 5 + F2X −1000 × 0.5 = 360 +

F2X F2X = −860 N = 860N ← ↑ RY = ∑FY 1000 sin 60 = 600 4 5 + 𝐹2𝑌

𝐹2𝑌 = 386.02 𝑁 ↑ 𝐹 = √(860) 2 + (386.02) 2 =942.62 N = tan−1 ( RY RX )

= tan−1 ( 386 860) = 24.17

Example(4):- Find the resultant of the two force shown in figure.

Solution:- → Rx = ∑Fx = 200 cos 35 − 150 sin 30 = 88.8 N ↑ Ry = ∑Fy =

200 sin 35 + 150 cos 30 = 245 N R = √(RX) 2 + (RY) 2 = √88.8 2 + 2452 =

260.6N

Example (5):- Combine the two forces P and T, which act on the fixed

structure at B, into a single equivalent force R.

Solution:- From fig.(a) tan 𝛼 = 𝐵𝐷 𝐴𝐷 = 6 sin 60° 3 + 6 cos 60° = 0.866 α

= 40.9 ° by using the x-y coordinate system on the given figure, 𝑅𝑋 = ∑

𝐹𝑋 = 800 − 600 cos 40.9 ° = 346 𝑁 → RY = ∑ FY = −600 sin 40.9 ° = −393

N = 393N ↓ 𝑅 = √𝑅𝑋 2 + 𝑅𝑌 2 = √(346) 2 + (−393) 2 = 524 �

𝜃 = tan−1 𝑅𝑌 𝑅𝑋 = tan−1 393 346 = 48.6 °

Example(6):- Forces F1 and F2 acts on the bracket as shown in figure.

Determine their resultant R.

Solution:- → RX = ∑FX = 100 cos 30 + 80 cos 20 = 161.77N → ↑ RY = ∑FY

= 100 sin 30 − 80 sin 20 = 22.63N ↑ R = √(RX) 2 + (RY) 2 = √161.772 +

22.632 = 163.4N

Example(7):- If ∅ = 30 and the resultant force acting on the plate is

directed along positive x axis , determine the magnitude F2and the

resultant force.

Solution:- The resultant is horizontal ∴ Ry = 0 = ∑Fy 𝑅𝑥 = 𝑅 = ∑𝐹𝑥 ↑ Ry

= 0 = −4 cos 30 + F2 sin 30 − 5 3 5 F2 = 6.46 sin 30 = 12.9 kN → R = Rx =

∑Fx = −4 sin 30 + 12.9 cos 30 + 5 4 5 R = 13.2kN
