(a) The perpendicular distances from line of action of the 3.5 kN force to the points A and B are the same, dA = dB = 4 m. Thus, the moments of this force about points A and B are MA = MB = (3.5 kN)(4 m) = 14 kN m (b) The perpendicular distances from line of action of the 4 kN force to the points A and B are dA = 4 m and dB = 2 m. Thus, the moments of this force about points A and B are MA = (4 kN)(4 m) = 16 kN m MB = (4 kN)(2 m) = 8 kN m 2. (a) The horizontal and vertical components of the force are Fx = 150 cos 30 = 129.9038 lb , Fy = 150 sin 30 = 75 lb

The perpendicular distances from the lines of action of both force components to the point B are both 10 in. Taking counterclockwise moments to be positive, MB = (129.9038 lb)(10 in) (75 lb)(10 in) = 549.04 lb in Thus MB = 549 lb in (b) The force vector is F = 150 cos 30 i 150 sin 30 j = (129.9038 i 75 j) lb and the position vector from B to A is rA/B = (10 i 10 j) in Thus, i j k 10 10 0 MB = rA/B F = 129.9038 75 0 = [(10)(75) (10)(129.9038)] k = (549.04 k) lb in = 549 lb in

3. The position vector from C to D is rD/C = (xD xC ) i + (yD yC ) j + (zD zC ) k = (59 21) i + (0 50) j + (42 0) k = (38 i 50j + 42k) in and its magnitude is |rD/C | = (38)2 + (50)2 + (42)2 = 75.5513 in

Thus, the unit vector in the direction from C to D is eD/C = rD/C = 0.5030 i 0.6618 j + 0.5559k |rD/C |

and the force at C due to the cable tension is T = (200 lb)eD/C = (100.59 i 132.36 j + 111.18k) lb (a) The position vector from B to D is rD/B = (49 i + 42 k) in, so MB = rD/B T = i j k 49 0 42 100.59 132.36 111.18

= [(0)(111.18) (42)(132.36)] i + [(42)(100.59) (49)(111.18)] j + [(49)(132.36) (0)(100.59)] k = (5559 i 1223 j 6486 k) lb in (b) The position vector from B to C is rC/B = (11 i + 50 j) in, so i j k 50 0 MB = rD/B T = 11 100.59 132.36 111.18 = [(50)(111.18) (0)(132.36)] i + [(0)(100.59) (11)(111.18)] j + [(11)(132.36) (50)(100.59)] k = (5559 i 1223 j 6486 k) lb in

4. The axis of the hinges is the line from A to B and the unit vector eBA along this line with a sense from B to A is eBA = 1.000 i. The moment of the tension force about point B was determined in Problem 3. Thus, the scalar component of the moment of the force that rotates the door about the axes of the hinges is MBA = MB eBA = (5559 i 1223 j 6486 k) (1.000 i) = 5559 lb in

5. The force F can be written in Cartesian vector form as F = (800 N) 250 i 200 j (250)2 + (200)2 = (624.70 i 499.76 j) N

The vector r from point C on the line OC to point A on the line of action of the force is r = (0.250 i) m A vector from any point on the line OC to any point on the line of action of the force will do. Finally, the unit vector e along the line OC , from O to C , is e= Thus, MOC 0.6623 0.5298 0.5298 0 0 = (r F) e = 0.250 = 66.2 N m 624.70 499.76 0 250 i + 200 j + 200 k (250)2 + (200)2 + (200)2 = 0.6623 i + 0.5298 j + 0.5298 k

6. The force at B can be written in Cartesian vector form as FB = 150 cos 30 i 150 sin 30 j = (75 3 i 75 j) lb The vector from A to B (a vector from any point of the line of action of FA to any point of the line of action of FB will do) is rB/A = (10 i 5 j) in The moment of the couple is i j 10 5 M = rB/A FB = 75 3 75 k 0 = (1399.52 k) lb in = 1400 lb in 0

The perpendicular distance between the two forces is d= |M| 1399.52 lb in = = 9.33 in |F| 150 lb

7. The moment of the 4 kN force is M1 = [(0.25 i 0.2 k) m] [(4000 j) N] = (800 i 1000 k) N m The moment of the 3.5 kN force is M1 = [(0.25 i 0.2 j) m] [(3500 k) N] = (700 i 875 j) N m The resultant couple is C = M1 + M2 = (1500 i 875 j 1000 k) N m The magnitude of the resultant couple is |C| = (1500)2 + (875)2 + (1000)2 = 2003.90 N m = 2.004 kN m

and the direction angles are x = cos1 y = cos1 z = cos1 1500 = 138.5 2003.90 875 = 115.9 2003.90 1000 = 119.9 2003.90
