    Study Notes

    Force Components

    • The horizontal component of a force along the x-axis is represented by the formula Fx.

    Concurrent Force Systems

    • In a concurrent force system, the lines of action of all forces meet at a single point.

    Resultant Force

    • The formula $R = \sqrt{\sum F_x^2 + \sum F_y^2}$ represents the magnitude of the resultant force.

    Resultant in Non-Concurrent Force System

    • The formula for the resultant of a non-concurrent force system in the y-direction is Fy.

    Resultant Quadrant

    • If the sum of forces in the x-direction is positive (∑Fx = +) and the sum of forces in the y-direction is negative (∑Fy = -), the resultant force lies in the 4th quadrant.
