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.
