This lecture covers the concept of resultant forces on a sheet, focusing on determining the line of action and amplitude of the resultant force. Through graphical analysis and practical examples, the instructor explains how to calculate and visualize the resultant forces in structural systems. Topics include influence surfaces, forces in cables, and the stability of arches.
