Objectives
By the end of this lesson you should be able to:
1)Discuss the principle of transmissibility.
2)Define the moment of a force about a point.
3)Examine vector and scalar products.
4)Define the mixed triple product.
5)Define the moment of a couple.
6)Resolve a given force into an equivalent force-couple system at
another point.
7)Reduce a system of forces into an equivalent force-couple
system.
8)Examine circumstances where a system of forces cab be
reduced to a single force.
9)Reduce a system of forces to a wrench.
Introduction
• Current chapter describes the effect of forces exerted on a rigid body and
how to replace a given system of forces with a simpler equivalent system.
• Principle of Transmissibility -
Conditions of equilibrium or motion
are not affected by transmitting a force
along its line of action.
NOTE: F and F’ are equivalent forces.
• Vector products:
- are not commutative, Q P P Q
- are distributive, P Q1 Q2 P Q1 P Q2
- are not associative, P Q S P Q S

Solution
How do you find the moment? What is
the equation for this moment? Discuss
this with a neighbor and describe in
detail each variable in your equation,
including (a) how you would write it,
(b) what its units are, and (c) whether
or not there are any alternative
variables that could take its place.
The rectangular plate is supported by
The moment MA of the force F exerted
the brackets at A and B and by a wire
CD. Knowing that the tension in the by the wire is obtained by evaluating
wire is 200 N, determine the moment the vector product,
about A of the force exerted by the
wire at C. M A rC A F

Moment of a Couple
• Two forces F and -F having the same magnitude,
parallel lines of action, and opposite sense are
said to form a couple.
