Elimination of the redirect to the article net force[edit]

The article net force states clearly that a net force is not a resultant force. The net force which is the vector sum of the forces without consideration of the points of application does not maintain the effect on the movement of a body as the original system of forces, as is stated in the article net force. In contrast, a resultant force with its point of application and associated torque does preserve this movement. For this reason, I recommend a separate article on resultant force.

New languages[edit]

I added in Simple English version. Please help to make the newly made article better.

By the way, is this a good example of resultant forces? If not, reply to me to which article to go to.

P.S. If the new Simple English article I made was all correct, then will you add the information to the English article?

The description in Simple English does not address the important feature of a resultant force which is its point of application. The Simple English version is better considered to be a description of Net force. Prof McCarthy (talk) 15:53, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please help with the addition of the resultant force too. Copied content to net force. Now help the Resultant force article to the perfection.
