Parallelogram Law.
If two forces, represented by vectors AB
and AC, acting under an angle a are applied
to a body at a point A, their action is equivalent
to the action of one force , represented by
the vector AD , obtained as the diagnal of the
parallogram constructed on the vectors AB
and AC and directed as shown in FIG

Force Components
¢ Force can be replaced by x and y
components

Forces in 3 Dimensions
¢ In 3 dimensions, forces can be replaced by 3
components along x, y and z axes:
F=(F,, F,,F,)=(,,F,,F,) or
F=F,i+ F, j+ F,k
i, j and k are unit vectors in x, y, and z

Colinear Forces
¢ Forces acting along the same line of action.
¢ The magnitude of a single equivalent force
is the same as the sum of the colinear forces

Equilibrium Law:
Two forces can be in equilibrium
only if they are equal in magnitude
,Opposite in direction and colinear
in action.

Resolution of Forces .... con’t.
* To compute the resultant of several
concurrent forces:
¢ first determine the angle of each force with
respect to + X axis
° find x and y components for each force; and
* sum colinear forces
¢ Note: You must be systematic about the
angles. I will show you one system.

from + x axis, sines and cosines
will reflect whether F,, and F, are
positive or negative.

Moments and Couples
* A moment about a point is defined as the product of a force magnitude
and the perpendicular distance from the force line of action to that
point.
