Chapter 2 Resultants of force systems 2.1 Introduction 2.2 Reduction of Concurrent Force Systems 1.Definition:各力作用线汇交于一点的力系 concurrent forces . 2.Reductionreplacing a system of concurrent forces with a single equivalent force. 3.Resultant forcethe vector sum of all forces acting on the body. The line of action of R must pass through original point of concurrency, “O”. R ∑F F +F +F 1 2 3 The equivalent scalar equations are: R ∑F R ∑F R ∑F x x y y z z If the original forces lie in xy-plain, then ∑Fz=0, thus: R ∑F R ∑F x x y y Example 2-1 Determine the resultant force for the forces shown in Fig.. Solution: Method 1 Scalar R R R 2 +R 2 27.5 θ tg −1 y 24.4° x y R x Method 2 Vector 2.3 Moment of a Force About a Point 1.Definition The moment of a force F about a point O, called the moment center, is defined as M = r×F A vector o where: r is the vector from the point O to any point on the line of action of F. Unit: N ⋅m. The magnitude of Mo is where d is the perpendicular distance from O to the line of action of F, called the moment arm of F. Then: M =Fd o 2.Principle of Moments The moment of a force about a given point is equal to the sum of the moments of its components about the point. 3.Rectangular c
