Homework Statement



Calculate the magnitude, direction and position of the line of action of the resultant and equilibriant of a non-concurrent coplanar force system containing a minimum of four forces acting in different directions.

Can anybody give me a comprehensive solution to this to include
1. Basic definition of problem
2. Practical examples eg. suspension bridge
3. Solution/ general principles

web links
idiot guides

etc

Many thanks

:)

Edit: Note that the title is incorrect. The question is about non-concurrent forces, not concurrent forces

This is a very old question (12+ years old at the time of replying). The OP has shown zero effort. However, it is very easy to find suitable support material online, e.g.
 

What is a concurrent coplanar force system?

A concurrent coplanar force system is a system in which all forces act on the same plane and have a common point of intersection. This means that all forces are acting at the same time and in the same direction.

How does a concurrent coplanar force system differ from a non-concurrent coplanar force system?

A non-concurrent coplanar force system is one in which the forces do not have a common point of intersection. This means that the forces may not all be acting at the same time or in the same direction.

What is the importance of understanding concurrent coplanar force systems in science?

Concurrent coplanar force systems are important in science because they can help us understand the forces acting on an object and how they affect its motion. This is crucial in fields such as physics and engineering.

How do you calculate the resultant force in a concurrent coplanar force system?

The resultant force in a concurrent coplanar force system can be calculated by adding all the individual forces together using vector addition. The resultant force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object.

What are some real-world applications of concurrent coplanar force systems?

Concurrent coplanar force systems are commonly used in engineering, such as in the design of structures and machines. They are also important in physics, where they can be used to analyze the motion of objects and predict their behavior.
