A comprehensive guide to understanding force, moment, and couple in mechanics. It covers key concepts such as external and internal forces, contact and body forces, moment calculation, and couple definition. Numerous examples and sample problems to illustrate the application of these concepts in real-world scenarios. It is a valuable resource for students studying mechanics and related fields.

is defined as the action of one body on another. (definition) is a vector quantity, since its effect depends on the direction as well as on the magnitude. The action of the cable tension P must be treated as a fixed vector because its effect on the bracket depends on the magnitude P , the angle

may be treated as a sliding vector in dealing with the mechanics of rigid bodies. (Why?)
A force may be applied at any point on its given line of action without altering the resultant effects of the force external to the rigid body on which it acts.

External force (외력): applied force (action) / reactive force (reaction) . Internal force (내력): results in internal stress and strain
Contact force (접촉력): generated through direct physical contact, applied over an area (= surface force) Body force (물체력): applied by remote action (= non-contact force), applied over a volume, such as gravitational, electric and magnetic force
Distributed force (분포력): applied over a finite area or volume . Concentrated force (집중력): applied over a very small area or volume

is the tendency of a force to rotate a body about an axis which neither intersects nor is parallel to the line of action of the force. may be considered as a sliding vector with a line of action coinciding with the moment axis. is also referred to as torque (= moment of force). moment of inertia moment of area moment of momentum
The moments of a force about any point is equal to the sum of the moments of the components of the force about the same point.

The moment produced by two equal and opposite and non-collinear forces is called a couple.
The moment expression contains no reference to O ( a, r A , r B ). The moment of a couple has the same value for all moment centers. Thus, we may represent M by a free vector.
M (^) O = F a + d ( ) - F a = F d M (^) O = r A (^) × F + r B (^) × − ( F ) = ( r A (^) − r B )× F = r ×F
Four different configurations of the same couple M :
