Since each force has an x and y component, the x component of the resultant force will be the sum of each x component of the forces. The y component of the resultant force will be the sum of each y component of the forces. The formulas will depend of the specific angle you chose depending on the situation. Don't worry... the formulas are only a matter of basic trigonometry. When you have found both the xand y component of the resultant force, you can calculate its magnitude using the pythagorean theorem.

∙ 13y agoIn two dimensions: M=F*d, where M is your moment, F is your force, and d is the perpendicular distance between them.
In three dimensions: you can use M=F*d if you know the perpendicular distance. In most cases, you won't. You will have to use the cross product of F and r (bold is used to indicate vector quantities, not scalar).
M=rXF To do this, take the determinant of this matrix:
i j k
rx ry rz
Fx Fy Fz
Doing so will give you your moment in vector form. To find the magnitude, just take the square root of the sum of the squares of the moment in the x, y, and z directions.

How do you work out resultant force?
by subtracting the smallest number from the biggest.
What is sum of the forces that are acting on an object?
Net Force, Or Net Resultant Force, or Resultant force
What are the sum of all forces acting on an object?
I'd call it the resultant, but "net force" is a good name too.
Which motion does a couple produce?
It has a resultant moment but does not have resultant force.
A single force whose external effects on a rigid body are the same as the effects of several actual forces acting on the body?
Resultant force
How do you work out the resultant force?
Acceleration x Mass

How to find resultant force?
To find the resultant force you need to find both the x and y component of the resultant force. Once you have that, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant force.

What is the magnitude of resultant force in case of concurrent force in equilibrium?
The magnitude of the resultant force in the case of the concurrent forces in equilibrium.
What is the resultant force in each if A 100 pound force to the west and a 50 pound force in the same direction?
A 150 pound resultant force
Which motion does a couple produce?
It has a resultant moment but does not have resultant force.
A single force whose external effects on a rigid body are the same as the effects of several actual forces acting on the body?
Resultant force
How do you solve for Equilibrant force?
Use pythagorean theorem to get the magnitude of the resultant force… The fourth force that would put this arrangement in equilibrium (the equilibrant) is equal and opposite the resultant. The components work this way too. To get the opposite direction angle, add on 180°.
A resultant vector is?
a resultant vector not only the resultant of two or three vector. it is the resultant direction of two or many vectors.(let us push an object with same force in opposite direction the resultant is zero and if we push in same direction the force will double.if we pull a object with same force in x and y direction the resultant force in 45 degrees to x axis)
How does the equilibrant force compare with the resulltant force?
The resultant is a trigonometric function, usually using the Law of Cosines in two dimensional solution by vector resolution, of two or more known forces while equilibrant is equal in magnitude to the resultant, it is in the opposite direction because it balances the resultant.Therefore, the equilibrant is the negative of the resultant.
