2 Force Systems Force, Moment, Couple and Resultants
Force Definition Force is an action that tends to cause acceleration of an object. [Dynamics] The SI unit of force magnitude is the newton(N). One Newton is equivalent to one kilogram-meter per second squared (kg·m/s2 or kg·m·s – 2) • Force is a vector quantity (why?) • Force is the action of one body on another. [Statics] Examples of mechanical force include the thrust of a rocket engine, the impetus that causes a car to speed up when you step on the accelerator, and the pull of gravity on your body. • Force can result from the action of electric fields, magnetic fields, and various other phenomena. 3
FORCE SYSTEMS Force is a vector Line of action is a straight line colinear with the force Force System: concurrentif the lines of action intersect at a point parallel if the lines of action are parallel y coplanar if the lines of action lie on the same plane x
Writing Convention same symbol In this course, you have to write in this convention. Recommended Style

Graphically 2. Geometrically 3. Vector component (algebraically) The calculations do not reveal the point of application of the resultant force. In case where forces do not apply at the same point of application, you have to find it too!
