- Determine the moment of the force F about point A in terms of F and d. Use (a) the scalar method; and (b) the vector method.arrow_forwardThe trapdoor is held in the horizontal plane by two wires. Replace the forces in the wires with an equivalent force R that passes through point A, and determine the y-coordinate of point A.arrow_forwardThe forces P and Q act on the handles of the wrench. If P = 321b and Q = 36 lb, determine the combined moment of the two forces about the z-axis.arrow_forward
- The wrench is used to tighten a nut on the wheel. Determine the moment of the 120-lb force about the origin O. Express your answer in vector form.arrow_forwardThe force-couple system consists of the force R=250i+360j400kN and the couple-vector CR=1200i+750j+560kNm. Determine the equivalent wrench and find the coordinates of the point where the axis of the wrench crosses the xy-plane.arrow_forwardWhen the three forces are replaced by an equivalent force-couple system with the force at point O, the couple vector CR is directed parallel to the x-axis. Determine F and the resultant force-couple system.arrow_forward
- The combined moment of the three forces is zero about the axis a-a and the axis b-b. Determine the distances x0 and y0.arrow_forwardThe couple acts on the handles of a steering mechanism. In the position shown, the moment applied by the couple about the z-axis is zero. Determine the distance b. Use F=150i90j+60kkN.arrow_forwardDetermine the moment of the force F=9i+18jlb about point O by the following methods: (a) vector method using rF; (b) scalar method using rectangular components of F; and (c) scalar method using components of F that are parallel and perpendicular to the line OA.arrow_forward
