Resultant of a general system of forces

samedi 31 août 2013

When I am learning "Resultant of a general system of forces", I encountered one problem that, sometimes when I am replacing a system of forces with one resultant force, I always cannot counteract the moment thee forces generate. For example:

60*4=

For this question(shown in the following post below), knowing that the distance d=1.5m, determin the resultant of the loads acting on the beam shown. Specify the point of application of this resultant one the beam.



The magnitude of resultant force is -100+60-50=-90; The direction is pointing downwards.



For the moment generated by the forces, we took the most left point as our reference point, then total moment is about 100*1+50*1.5-60*4=-65KN*M(Clockwise direction)



But the resultant force can only produce counterclockwise moment as it is pointing downwards. So how should I solve this problem?
