Homework Statement: I am trying to find help with finding the x any y coords of the resultant force, I have found the resultant force and moment but i think i may have run into problems finding the x and y coordinates. I know tha m_x' = sum Mx' but im unsure of the equation

Relevant Equations: M_x' = sum Mx', My'=sumMy'

You have missed out a step. You need to find the resultant force as a vector, not just its magnitude, before you can find the point where it acts.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
