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 F . Note that the designers have positioned
R

the cables so that F is directed along the bridge tower directly to

R

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 .
