    The document discusses force systems and operations with forces. It defines three types of vector forces - fixed vectors which have the same magnitude, direction, and point of application; sliding vectors which have the same magnitude, direction, and line of action; and free vectors which have the same magnitude and direction. It also defines that a force can be moved anywhere along its line of action without changing its external effects on a rigid body. The document provides examples of determining the resultant force of concurrent force systems and solving for the magnitude and coordinates of the line of action of the resultant force.

    CHAPTER 2:

    EQUIVALENCE OF VECTORS
    FIXED VECTORS. Same magnitude,
    direction and point of application.

    direction and line of action
    FREE VECTORS. Same magnitude and
    direction.

    FORCE
    It is a term assigned to mechanical
    interaction between two bodies

    • Point of Application
    • Line of Action

    EXAMPLE
    Three ropes are attached to the post at A. The forces in the ropes
    are F1=260 N, F2=75 N and F3=60 N. Determine (1) the
    magnitude of the force R that is equivalent to the three forces and
    (2) the coordinates of the points where the line of action R
    intersects the yz-plane.
