Statics - Force System Resultant
Forces applied to bodies can be defined as a system of forces or moments. When two or more forces or moments are combined, the combination is called a resultant. Any force system can be simplified about a point to a resultant consisting of one force and one couple (either or both of which may be zero). The force is applied to the point and is the vector sum of all of the forces in the system. Use of Cross Products, Dot Products, and Couple Moments.
