Discussion resultant of coplanar force systems
Every object we see around us has either applied or nonapplied forces acting on them. These objects are considered static bodies if they are at rest or not accelerating. If we can analyze one of these objects by representing the set of forces as vectors lying on a single plane then we have a Coplanar Force System. Below is one example of an object you might see in your house which can be analyzed using a Coplanar Force System. The second picture shows how an analysis of this structure is started by representing all the forces, both applied and nonapplied, as vectors.
Resultant of Coplanar Force Systems
In your original post, Include the following:
- Find and share an example of a force system from your daily life
- Explain the different types of forces on your force system
- Find and share a real-world example where the actual forces on an object or structure can be replaced with an equivalent system of forces and explain how they are equivalent
- Make sure to choose a real-world example
