  3. Equivalent system An equivalent system is: A system in which forces and couple moments acting on a body are simplified to a single resultant force and couple moment acting at a specified point O. Consider the figure below in which point O is on the line of action of the force: F is applied at A (Fig. a). It is needed to move the force F to point O (keeping the external effects on the body constant). Imagine we apply +F and –F at O (Fig. b). As +F at A and –F at O are cancelled out, hence +F is applied at O (Fig. c). Statics (MET 2214) Prof. S. Nasseri

  4. Equivalent system Now if point O is not on the line of action of the force: Force F is applied at A (Fig. a) and OA does not pass through the line of action of F. It is needed to move force F to O (keeping the external effects on the body constant). In this case: Apply +F and –F at O (Fig. b), then +F at A and –F at O create a couple moment (M = r x F). M is a free vector, so remember that it can be applied on any point P (Fig. c) So, F is applied at O and also a moment M is produced (Fig. c). Statics (MET 2214) Prof. S. Nasseri
