Instructor I, College of Agriculture
University of Rizal System – Main Campus
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this presentation, the students will be able to:

1. understand the concept of the resultant of parallel forces; and


2. solve situation problems related to the resultant of parallel forces.
TOPIC OUTLINE

1. Introduction
2. Sample Problem
INTRODUCTION

Parallel Forces
It can be in the same or in opposite
directions. The sign of the direction can
be chosen arbitrarily, meaning, taking
one direction as positive makes the
opposite direction negative. The
complete definition of the resultant is
according to its magnitude, direction,
and line of action.

INTRODUCTION

Resultant of Distributed Loads

The resultant of a distributed load is


equal to the area of the load diagram.
It is acting at the centroid of that area
as indicated. The figure below shows
the three common distributed loads
namely; rectangular load, triangular
load, and trapezoidal load.
