Lesson Plan: Resultant of Parallel Coplanar Forces Mathematics

This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to find the resultant of a system of parallel coplanar forces and how to locate its point of action.

Objectives

Students will be able to

  • find the resultant of a system of parallel coplanar forces,
  • locate the point of action of a system of parallel coplanar forces.

Prerequisites

Students should already be familiar with

  • resolving forces acting at the same point,
  • forces in vector form,
  • finding the moment of a force acting about a point.

Exclusions

Students will not cover

  • moments.
