Definition of non concurrent, non parallel systems. Since we know both the amount of force and the length of the lever, figuring torque out become very easy for us. When all forces are acting in the same plane, they are called coplanar whereas when forces act at the same time and at the same point, they are called. If two people stand the ends of a rope and pull on it, the forces are concurrent because the effect of the forces will intersect at the same point presumably in the middle of the rope.

Lee professor, chair of ee, associate chair of eecs eecs department university of california at berkeley berkeley, ca 94720, u. Problem 262 determine completely the resultant of the forces acting on the step. If the body is not accelerating, it must be in equilibrium, so that means the resultant is zero. There are three equilibrium conditions that can be used for nonconcurrent, non parallel force system. A couple is defined as two forces coplanar having the same magnitude, parallel lines of action, but opposite sense. Since the size of a point is zero, moment arms do not exist, all moments are zero and moment summation is irrelevant. Equilibrium of nonconcurrent force system engineering.
