Chapter 3.1, Problem 3.9P

Rod AB is held in place by the cord AC. Knowing that the tension in the cord is 1350 N and that c = 360 mm, determine the moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point A by resolving that force into horizontal and vertical components applied (a) at point A, (b) at point C.

To determine

The moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point A.

Answer to Problem 3.9P

The moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point A is 292Nm in the clockwise direction.

Explanation of Solution

Refer Figure 1.

VECTOR MECH...,STAT.+DYNA.(LL)-W/ACCESS, Chapter 3.1, Problem 3.9P , additional homework tip  1

Write an expression to calculate the length of cord.

AC=(OA)2+(OB+BC)2 (I)

Here, AC is the length of the cord, OA is the horizontal distance between A and C, OB is the distance between the points O and B and BC is the distance between B and C.

Write an expression to calculate angle α.

α=tan1(OCOA) (II)

Here, α is the angle CAO and OC is the distance between O and C.

Write an expression to calculate the tension acting along the cord.

F=Fcosαi+Fsinαj (III)

Here, F is the force vector acting along the cord and F is the magnitude of the force vector F.

Write an expression to calculate the position vector between point A and B.

rA/B=OAiOBj (IV)

Here, rA/B is the position vector between point A and B.

Write an expression to calculate the moment at point B.

MB=rA/B×F (V)

Here, MB is the moment at point B.

Conclusion:

Substitute 450mm for OA, 240mm for OB, and 360mm for BC in equation (I) to find AC.

AC=((450mm)(1m1000mm))2+((240mm)(1m1000mm)+(360mm)(1m1000mm))2=0.75m

Substitute 450mm for OA, and 600mm for OC in equation (II) to find α.

α=tan1(600mm450mm)=53.1°

Substitute 1350N for F, and 53.1° for α in equation (III) to find F.

F=(1350N)cos(53.1°)i+(1350N)sin(53.1°)j=(810N)i+(1080N)j

Substitute 450mm for OA, and 240mm for OB in equation (IV) to find rA/B.

rA/B=((450mm)(1m1000mm))i((240mm)(1m1000mm))j=(0.45m)i(0.24m)j

Substitute (810N)i+(1080N)j for F, and (0.45m)i(0.24m)j for rA/B in equation (V) to find MB.

MB=((0.45m)i(0.24m)j)×((810N)i+(1080N)j)=(486Nm)k+(194Nm)k=(292Nm)k

Therefore, the moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point A is 292Nm in the clockwise direction.

To determine

The moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point C.

Answer to Problem 3.9P

The moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point C is 292Nm in the clockwise direction.

Explanation of Solution

Refer Figure 2.

VECTOR MECH...,STAT.+DYNA.(LL)-W/ACCESS, Chapter 3.1, Problem 3.9P , additional homework tip  2

Write an expression to calculate the position vector between point A and B.

rC/B=BCj (VI)

Here, rC/B is the position vector between point C and B.

Write an expression to calculate the moment at point B.

MB=rC/B×F (VII)

Conclusion:

Substitute 360mm for BC in equation (VI) to find rC/B.

rC/B=((360mm)(1m1000mm))j=(0.36m)j

Substitute (810N)i+(1080N)j for F, and (0.36m)j for rC/B in equation (VII) to find MB.

MB=((0.36m)j)×((810N)i+(1080N)j)=(292Nm)k

Therefore, the moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point C is 292Nm in the clockwise direction.
