Engineering Mechanics: Unit II: Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies
Resultant of Non-concurrent Force Systems
The parallel force systems are also non-concurrent force systems and hence can be reduced in the same way.
Resultant of Non-concurrent Force Systems A system of non-concurrent forces can be reduced to: 1) A single moment if resultant force is zero. ii) A force-couple system. iii) A single resultant force with a specified line of action. The line of action can be specified by the perpendicular distance of resultant force from a given point or x/y intercept on co-ordinate axes or intercept on any inclined axis. • The parallel force systems are also non-concurrent force systems and hence can be reduced in the same way. • The resultant force can be obtained using resolution of forces into rectangular components. • The line of action of resultant force can be obtained using Varignon's theorem.
