Example  -  Force –System Resultants -- Moments  (continued)

  

The figure below shows the resultant force system acting on the bent at A.

 

Fr  is the resultant force in N and  MrA is the resultant moment in Nm.

 

                    

                         

 

 

Note:  For a system to be in equilibrium the result force and the resultant moment must

equal zero.  In this example the bent is not in equilibrium under the applied loading.
