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.
