1 The magnitude of resultant force is determined from the sum: . It is equal to the total area under the distributed-loading diagram. x L dx x w dA dR w=w(x) O L O C R The location of the line of action of R is determined by equating the moments of the force resultant and the force distribution about point O. This yields: Hence, the line of action of the resultant force passes through the geometric centre or centroid of the area under the distributed-loading diagram. A uniform load may be represented by a rectangle. The height of the rectangle represents the load per unit of length. The length of the rectangle is the distance over which the load acts. The resultant of a uniformly distributed load is equal in magnitude to the area of that rectangle, that is, R = wL, and it acts at the geometric centre in the middle of the rectangle a distance from either end of L/2. Resultant of a uniform load A triangular load varies uniformly from zero on one end to a maximum on the other end. The height represents the load per unit of length and the length is the distance over which the load acts. The resultant of a triangular load is equal in magnitude to the area of the triangle, R = wL/2 and it acts at the geometric centre of the triangle a distance 2L/3 from the pointed end of the triangle and a distance of L/3 from the flat end of the triangle.

Moment of a force The moment of a force about a point or axis provides a measure of the tendency of the force to cause a body to rotate about the point or axis. The moment of a force about a point Where d is referred to as the moment arm or perpendicular distance from the point O to the line of action of the force. The magnitude:
