- Determine the moment of the force F=40i8j+5kN about the y-axis.arrow_forwardDetermine 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_forwardTo lift the table without tilting, the combined moment of the four parallel forces must be zero about the x-axis and the y-axis (O is the center of the table). Determine the magnitude of the force F and the distance d.arrow_forward
- The trap door is held open by the rope AB. If the tension in the rope is T = 60 lb, determine its moment about the y-axis.arrow_forwardDetermine the magnitude of the moment of the 150-N force about point O. Also find the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the force and point O (as in M = Fd).arrow_forwardThe 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_forward
