Resultant effect of number forces acting simultaneously

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on methods for calculating the resultant force from multiple forces acting simultaneously on a body in the same plane. It highlights the challenge of finding resultant forces for non-coplanar forces that are not perpendicular to each other. The suggested approach involves breaking down each force into its x, y, and z components, allowing the application of 2D force composition strategies. The conversation references resources for understanding force composition but emphasizes the need for methods applicable to different planes. Overall, the topic underscores the complexity of analyzing forces beyond simple coplanar scenarios.

Hello Friends,
I want to discuss about methods to find resultant force for number of forces acting simultaneously on a body in same plane

have a look at this

Is there any method to find out resultant for number of forces acting on a body but in different planes which are not perpendicular to each other ?

These methods are for coplanar forces not for non-coplaner forces.
 
You could break down each force into its x,y,z components, at which point the same strategies of composing forces in 2-d will apply.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
