    This document discusses force systems and resultants from Chapter 2 of the textbook Engineering Mechanics: Statics (7th Edition). It explains how a system of forces and couples can be reduced to a single resultant force and moment by moving all forces to a common point and adding their vectors. An example problem is provided to show determining the resultant of four forces and one couple acting on a plate.

    Force Systems
    2D- Equivalent Force
    2D-Force System-Resultants
    We now reduce a system
    of forces and couples to
    the simplest possible
    representation, which is
    called the resultant of the
    original system.
    F1 moved to O
    F2 moved to O
    F3 moved to O
    F1, F2 and F3 added to
    obtain R.
    M1, M2 and M3 added to obtain Mo
    Force-couple system reduced to a single force.
    2D-Force System-Resultants
    Example:
    Determine the resultant of the four forces and one
    couple which act on the plate shown.
