Moment of a Force (Vector Formulation)

5
1- Determine the moment of the force F about point O.
Express the result as a Cartesian vector.

𝑀𝑂 = {−40𝑖 − 44𝑗 − 8𝑘} kN.m

6
2- The 20-N horizontal force acts on the handle of the socket
wrench. Determine the moment of this force about point O.
Specify the coordinate direction angles α, β, γ of the moment
axis.
α = 81.8°
β = 75.7°
γ = 163°

3- The curved rod lies in the x–y plane and has a radius of 3 m.
If a force of F = 80 N acts at its end as shown, determine the
moment of this force about point B.

8
4- A 20-N horizontal force is applied perpendicular to the
handle of the socket wrench. Determine the magnitude and
the coordinate direction angles of the moment created by
this force about point O.

9
5- Determine the coordinate direction angles α, β, γ of force F, so
that the moment of F about O is zero.

10
6- Determine the moment produced by force FB about point O.
Express the result as a Cartesian vector.
𝑀𝑂 = −1.80𝑖 kN.m

11
7- Determine the smallest force F that must be applied along the
rope in order to cause the curved rod, which has a radius of 4 m, to
fail at the support A. This requires a moment of M = 1500 N.m to be
developed at A.

12
8- The force F = {6i + 8j + 10k} N creates a moment about point O of MO
= {-14i + 8j + 2k} N.m. If the force passes through a point having an x
coordinate of 1 m, determine the y and z coordinates of the point. Also,
realizing that MO = Fd, determine the perpendicular distance d from
point O to the line of action of F. Note: The figure shows F and MO in an
arbitrary position.
y=1m
z=3m
d = 1.15 m

13
9- Force F acts perpendicular to the inclined plane. Determine
the moment produced by F about point A. Express the result as a
Cartesian vector.
𝑀𝐴 = 1.56𝑖 − 0.750𝑗 − 1.00𝑘 kN.m

14
10- Strut AB of the 1-m-diameter hatch door exerts a force of
450 N on point B. Determine the moment of this force about
point O.
𝑀𝑂 = {373𝑖 − 99.9𝑗 + 173𝑘} N.m
