an equivalent force and couple moment acting at point P.
Solution:
Problem 2 (equivalent system):
The weights of the various components of the truck are shown. Replace this system of forces by an equivalent resultant force and couple moment acting at point A.
Solution:
Problem 3 (equivalent system):
Replace the two wrenches and the force, acting on the pipe assembly, by an equivalent resultant force and couple moment acting at point O.
