A horizontal force of F = {−50i} N is applied perpendicular to the handle of the pipe wrench. Determine the moment that this force exerts along the axis OA (z axis) of the pipe assembly. Both the wrench and pipe assembly, OABC, lie in the y-z plane. Suggestion: Use a scalar analysis.

- To 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_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 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 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_forwardDetermine the moment of the force F=40i8j+5kN about the y-axis.arrow_forward
- The two forces are applied to the end of the boom OA. Determine the force F so that the resultant of the two forces lies in the yz-plane.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_forwardThe 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_forward
- The tool is used to shut off gas valves that are difficult to access. If the force F is applied to the handle, determine the component of the moment created about the z axis of the valve. (Include a free body diagram)arrow_forwardOn the structure shown act the force of 180.0 N and the torque formed by the forces P and Q. If P = Q = 45.0 N; replace this system by a resultant force R equivalent.(a) Find the magnitude and direction of the resulting R.(b) Specify the point where the line of action of force resultant intersects the z-axis.arrow_forward
