Every set of forces and moments has an equivalent force couple system. This is a single force and pure moment (couple) acting at a single point that is statically equivalent to the original set of forces and …

We have found two different statically equivalent systems; one with a force and a couple, the other with a single force. This latter system is simpler than the original system.

Every set of forces and moments has an equivalent force couple system. This is a single force and pure moment (couple) acting at a single point that is statically equivalent to the original set of forces and …

In this video, we will describe the conditions for two systems to be considered equivalent and also show how to find a force-couple system at a specified point that is equivalent to a...

Determine the effect of moving a force. Find an equivalent force-couple system for a system of forces and couples.

Force Couples Example 2 Given: The rod and plate system is loaded by several force couples. Find: a) Determine the equivalent magnitude and direction of each force couple.

We recall that a system of forces is equivalent to a couple if the net force is equal to zero. Since the given system is equivalent to a couple, both the horizontal and vertical components of forces in this …

Replace the Force at D by an Equivalent Force-Couple System at Point E B D 18 lb (18 lb)(13 ft) = 234 ft-lb

If a force acting on a body is represented (or replaced) by another force or a force-moment system (at a different point on the body) such that the resulting rigid-body effects (i.e., translation and rotation) …

The resultant of a force and couple system: For any point O, every force and couple system can be made equivalent to a single force passing through O and a single couple.
