Among the existing methods to measure a force, the strain gauge method would provide the highest accuracy and the most economical way. In this paper, the simple and reasonable measurements of not only a magnitude and a direction but a position of the line of action of the resultant force by the strain gauge method are presented as to the case that forces applied to a body can be composed to a single resultant force.
