Week 3 – Module 2A : Resultant of Force Systems
Teaching Learning Outcomes:
a. Understand the fundamental concepts of statics.
b. Determine the resultant of parallel and non-parallel force system and to establish equilibrium
Topics:
1. Resultant of Parallel Forces
2. Resultant of Non-Concurrent Force Systems
Teaching-Learning Activities:
1. Lecture
2. Learning Modules
Resultant of Parallel Forces:
Moment of a Force – about an axis or line is its measure of its ability to produce turning or twisting about
the
axis.
M= F x S
NOTE: Since it is rotation then the direction is either clockwise(+) or counterclockwise(-) about an axis.
Varignon’s Theorem: The moment of a force is equivalent to the sum of the moments of its components
E1: A parallel force system acts on the lever shown. Determine the magnitude, direction and position of
the R
resultant.

ΣMA = 0 clockwise(+)
-P(2) + F(5) - 200(7) = - 300(4) = 0 5F - 2P = 1400 - 1200
5F - 2P = 200 -----------(2)
Substitute (1) into (2)
5F - 2(F + 200) = 200 5F - 2F - 400 = 200 3F = 600
F = 600_ = 200N P = 200 + 200 = 400

REMINDERS: 1. For the first homework, I accepted all late homeworks. For the next homeworks
late
submittals will no longer be accepted.
2. Next week I will meet you through zoom or group chat during your class
schedule.
Please make sure you will be at a location where the internet connection is
accessible.
These medium is of limited time so please be on time. We will not wait for you.
3. A quiz will also be scheduled next week.
