ILLUSTRTIVE PROBLEM
 212. Determine completely the resultant of the
concurrent forces shown:
MOMENT OF A FORCE
 The moment of a force
about an axis or line is the
measure of its ability to
produce turning or twisting
about the axis.
 The magnitude of the
moment of a force about an
axis which is perpendicular
to a plane containing the
line of action of the force is
defined as the product of the
force and the perpendicular
distance from the axis to the
line of action of the force.
VARIGNONS THEOREM
 The moment of a force is equivalent to the sum of the
moments of its components.
VARIGNONS THEOREM
 Suppose it is desired to find the moment about point A
of the force P acting on the roof truss. At a point B on
the action line P, resolve force into its components Px
and Py.

∑ 𝑀 𝐴=𝑃 ∙ d=Py ∙ 𝐴𝐵
ILLUSTRTIVE PROBLEM
 225. In figure 2-16, a force F passing through C
causes a clockwise moment of 120 ft∙lb about A
and a clockwise moment of 70 ft∙lb about B.
Determine the force and its x intercept ix.
RESULTANT OF PARALLEL
FORCES
 A parallel force system is one which the action lines of
all the forces are parallel.

∑ 𝐹=R ∑ 𝑀𝑜=R ∙ d
ILLUSTRTIVE PROBLEM
 234. Determine the resultant of the parallel force
system acting on the bar AB shown in fig. 2-19.
The forces and positions are given in the figure.
ILLUSTRTIVE PROBLEM
 235. A beam of a length L supports a load which
varies from w lb/ft at the right end to zero at the left
end. Determine the magnitude and position of the
resultant load.
COUPLES
 A couple is made up of two equal, parallel, oppositely
directed forces, as shown in Fig. 2-23. The
perpendicular distance between the action lines of the
forces is called the moment arm of the couple.
𝐶 = 𝐹𝑥𝑑
 Where C = Moment of a Couple
F = Couple Force
d = perpendicular distance of the couple
COUPLES
 Sometimes the resultant of a force system will be zero
in magnitude and yet have a resultant moment sum.
Example of which is in Fig. 2-22.

∑ 𝑀 𝑐=60
∑ 𝑀 𝐷=60
∑ 𝑀 𝐸=60
∑ 𝑀 𝐴=60
Example
 Transform the couple shown in Fig. 2-24a into an
equivalent couple whose forces are horizontal and act
through points C and D.

𝐶 = 𝐹𝑥𝑑 𝐹 =12 𝑙𝑏
𝐶=9 𝑥 4 =𝐹𝑥 3
Example
 The three-step pulley shown in Fig. P-247 is subjected to the given couples.
Compute the value of the resultant couple. Also determine the forces acting
at the rim of the middle pulley that are required to balance the given
system.

 Solving for the resultant couple


CR=ΣC
CR=40(16)−30(12)+60(8)
CR=760 lb⋅in counterclockwise

 Solving for equivalent couple acting in


the middle pulley

12F=CR
12F= 760
F= 63.3 lb
