Force System Resultants topics include: Moment of a force and couple, moment of a force on simplified axis, simple distributed loading, force and couple system simplification. A force system resultant is a representative force that has the same effect on a body as the group of forces it replaces. It is the simplest force that can replace the original forces system without changing its external effect on a rigid body.  The resultant force is the sum of all the vector forces being applied to an object. It is the total amount of force acting on the object or body along with the direction of... Show more
