Lectures 3, 4, 5 - Chapter 3 - Three Resultants of Coplanar Force Systems Flashcards

1
Q

What is a Resulant?

A
  • The sum of all vectors.
  • Also acts as an output, which is also a vector and a force.

Q

What is the Resultant Force?

A
  • The sum of the original forces.
  • There are at least two forces, and there can be more involved.
  • This Resultant force is also defined, and it created from the sum.

Q

What is the Resultant Force of a Concurrent Coplanar Force Systems?

A

This sum of original forces derives from the addition/totalling of all forces within the Concurrent Coplanar Force System.

Q

What happens when you have the effect of two components?

A
  • When two components are acting together, it is the same effect caused by the original force.
  • Two components that are usually orthogonal, at right angles to one another
  • Usually colinear

Q

What is the Moment Arm? This is needed in order to calculate the magnitude of the Moment.

A

The Moment Arm is the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the Moment Center.

Q

What is Varginon’s Theorem?

A

The algebraic sum of the moments of the componets of a force system is equal to the moment of the resultant force system.
(Algebraic Sum of Moments of Components of a Force System) = (Moment of Resultant Force System)
