Question: Replace the loading by an equivalent resultant force and couple moment acting at point O . Step I. Divide the load area into one rectangular

Replace the loading by an equivalent resultant force and couple moment acting at point O .
Step I. Divide the load area into one rectangular and two triangular areas
Step 2. Find the equivalent force for each area in kN for rectangle FI and two triangles F2 and F3
Step 3. Find centroid for each area and write horizontal distance from O
Step 4. Draw each resultant in its centroid
Step 5. Find total resultant force FR=FI+F2+F3
Step 6. Find Resultant couple as sum of moments moment of each Force about O
Replace the loading by an equivalent resultant
