Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics

The four cable forces are all concurrent at point O on this bridge tower.
Consequently they produce no resultant moment there, only a resultant
force FR. Note that the designers have positioned the cables so that FR is
directed along the bridge tower directly to the support, so that it does not
cause any bending of the tower.

Example No.1
Replace the force and couple moment system acting on the beam in the
figure by an equivalent resultant force, and find where its line of action
intersects the beam, measured from point O .
