| Learning Objectives Description |
| Distinguish between fully equivalent loadings and statically equivalent loadings |
| Replace a general set of forces and couples with a single force at a location that needs to be determined |
| Recognize equivalence between forces acting along the same line of action |
| Recognize equivalence between several forces acting at a point and a single force at that point equal to their vector sum - full equivalence |
| Recognize equivalence between different combinations of forces that produce zero net force and the same total moment - equivalent couples |
| Replace a single force acting at a point with a statically equivalent force at a different point and an appropriate couple for moving a force perpendicular to its line of action |
| Replace a single force acting at a point with a statically equivalent force at a different point and an appropriate couple for moving a force to an arbitrary location |
| Replace two parallel forces acting in the same direction and sense with a single force |
| Replace two parallel forces acting in the same direction and opposite senses with a statically equivalent load (force and couple) |
| Replace a general set of forces and couples with a force and couple at a given point |
