ENGI 1313 Mechanics I Lecture 15: Force System Resultant and Cross Product
Chapter 4 Objectives • to discuss the concept of the moment of a force and show how to calculate it in two and three dimensions. • to provide a method for finding the moment of a force about a specified axis. • to define the moment of a couple. • to present methods for determining the resultants of non-concurrent force systems. • to indicate how to reduce a simple distributed loading to a resultant force having a specified location.
Lecture 15 Objectives • to examine concepts of the moment of a force in scalar notation • Slides in Lecture 13 revised for consistent notation with the text and provide summary classification of textbook problems • to examine concepts on the cross product with respect to the moment of a force

Applications of Cross Product • Vector Notation – Moment of a Force
Applications of Cross Product • Vector Notation – Moment of a Force
Principle of Transmissibility • The force vector F can act at any point along the force vector line of action (“sliding vector”) and still create the same moment about point O.
Principle of Moments • Varignon’s Theorem • The moment of a force about a point is equal to the sum of the moments of the force’s components about the point.
