    The document discusses concurrent and non-concurrent forces. Concurrent forces intersect at a common point and can cause rotation, while non-concurrent forces act in parallel lines that do not intersect at a point. A couple is a type of non-concurrent force consisting of two equal parallel forces in opposite directions separated by a distance, allowing it to generate a rotational effect. The document provides examples of calculating the resultant moment and forces for systems involving concurrent and non-concurrent forces.

    CONCURRENT AND NON-CONCURRENT FORCES

    Concurrent forces
    -are two or more forces whose lines of action intersect at
    the same point to cause rotation. The forces do not
    necessarily have to be applied.

    Non-concurrent Forces
    -It is defined as the forces which lies in the line of
    action but do not intersect or forms a parallel at a
    common point.
    Concurrent forces

    Non-Concurrent
    forces

    Concurrent forces
    A couple is an example of a non-concurrent force because its line of action does not intersect
    at one point.
    Couple
    – a pair of equal parallel forces oppositely directed separated by a perpendicular distance.
    The magnitude of the couple is equal to the product of the force and the perpendicular
    distance.

    C =Fd

    The moment sum is constant and independent of the


    moment center.
    Proof:
    Mo = F(d+a) –Fa
    Mo = Fd
    Problems
    Determine the resultant moment about point A of the system of forces shown in Figure below.
    Each square is 1 ft on a side.

    The three step pulley shown if figure is subjected to the given Couples. Compute the
    value of the resultant couple and determine the forces acting at the rim of the middle
    pulley that are required to balance the given system.

    Force at the rim of the middle Pulley that will balance the given
    system

    F(12) = 760
    F = 63.33 lb
    The cantilever truss shown carries a vertical load of 2400 lb. The truss is supported by bearings at A
    and B which exert the forces Av,Ah and Bh. The four forces shown constitute two couples which must
    have opposite moment effects to prevent movement of the truss. Determine the magnitude of the
    supporting forces.

    SOLUTION

    Bh and Ah constitute A clockwise couple that rotates


    Clockwise. To prevent movement of the truss Av and
    2400 lb must be a couple rotating counterclockwise.

    If Av and 2400 lb is a couple then Av = 2400 lb up

    Couple produced by Av and 2400 C =2400(6)


    Couple produce by Bh and Ah C = Ah(4)
    2400(6) =Ah(4)
    Ah = 3600 lb to the left
    Bh =3600 lb to the right
