Parse style aims to determine the direction and magnitude of the resultant force components that have a number of styles with the same capture point and different directions. A style that has a specific direction is described on the X axis and Y axis, if the force component has more than one style, then other styles can be described as well, so that the resultant on the X axis (Rx) and the resultant on the Y axis (Ry) can determined easily.
By Rx and Ry is certain then the resultant (R) can be determined both magnitude and direction. See the picture below!
To determine the resultant force of components above can be performed with four stages:
– The first stage by outlining the components of force against the X axis and Y axis;
– The second phase adds style description on the X axis and Y axis, which produces Rx and Ry;
– Phase three quantify the resultant by using the Pythagorean formula, with the provisions of the styles in the absolute mark.
– Stage four to determine the direction of the resultant equation
