Three Force Body



For a hinged member with a force acting on it:

Where:
F = force acting on the body
W = weight of object
R = resultant force

Form a force triangle by using F, W, and R.
The location of W is at the center of gravity of the body.
R acts along the line connecting between the origin, O, and the intersection of the lines of action of F and W.
