Representing a distributed force by a single force and a single couple of moment: ES2501: Statics/Unit 12-1: Statically Equivalent Systems Distributed force ------ a force distributed over a line (1D), an area (2D), or a volume (3D) Water pressure on a reservoir door Air pressure on An airplane wing Weight of a 3D Object Specification: a distributed force is specified by its load density Note Difference between load and load density ------ force per unit length [F/L] ------ force per unit area [F/L2] ------ force per unit volume [F/L3]
