    This document provides an overview of a statics course, including the course name, timeframe, topics, and materials needed. The document then summarizes the concept of moment of a force, how to calculate it, and how to find the resultant effect of a nonconcurrent force system. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating moments of individual forces and the resultant moment of a system of forces about a point. Key concepts explained include the magnitude, direction, and calculation of resultant moment as the algebraic sum of the individual moments.

    MODULE 4: FORCE SYSTEM RESULTANTS


    After completing this module,

    Students will be to:


    ➢ discuss the concept of the moment of a force and to calculate it in 2D
    ➢ find the resultant effect of a noncuncurrent force system.

    MOMENT OF A FORCE – Scalar Formulation

    Torque (the moment of force or simply MOMENT) is the force applied to


    a body that will produce a tendency to rotate about a point away from the line
    of action of the force.

    Mo Magnitude of the moment


    F Force applied
    Mo =Fd d Moment arm or perpendicular distance from
    the axis point O

    For example, consider a wrench used to unscrew the bolt.

    If a force is applied to the handle of the wrench it will tend


    to turn the bolt about point O (or the z axis).

    The magnitude of the moment is directly proportional to


    the magnitude of F and the perpendicular distance or
    moment arm d.

    NOTE: The larger the force or the longer the moment arm,
    the greater the moment or turning effect.

    THREE Important Components: Magnitude, Direction and


    Resultant Moment

    Magnitude. The magnitude of MO is MO = Fd , where d is the moment


    arm or the perpendicular distance from the axis at point O to the
    line of action of the force. (Unit is N.m or lb.ft)

    Direction.The direction of MO is defined by its moment axis, which is


    perpendicular to the plane that contains the force F and its
    moment arm d.
    The right-hand rule is used to establish the sense of direction of M.

    Resultant Moment. The resultant moment MR (on x-y plane) about


    point O (the z axis) can be determined by finding the algebraic
    sum of the moments caused by all the forces in the system.

    Example 1. Determine the moment of the force about point O of the following:

    SOLUTION (Scalar Analysis)

    a) MO= (100 N)(2 m) = 200 N.m Ans

    b) MO= (50 N)(0.75 m) = 37.5 N.m Ans

    c) MO= (40 lb)(4 ft + 2 cos 30º ft) = 229 lb.ft Ans

    d) MO= (60 lb)(1 sin 45º ft) = 42.4 lb.ft Ans

    e) MO= (7 kN)(4 m - 1 m) = 21.0 kN.m Ans

    Example 2. Determine the resultant moment of the four forces acting on the
    rod about point O.

    SOLUTION

    + (MR)o = ΣFd;

    (MR)o = -50 N(2 m) + 60 N (0) + 20 N (3 sin 30º m) –


    40 N (4 m + 3 cos 30º m)

    (MR)o = - 334 N. m = 334 N.m Ans.

    Example 3. Determine the moment of the force about O.

    SOLUTION a

    d = (3 m) sin 75_ = 2.898 m


    MO= Fd = (5 kN)(2.898 m) = 14.5 kN.m Ans.

    SOLUTION b
    + MO = -Fxdy - Fydx
    = -(5 cos 45º kN)(3 sin 30º m) - (5 sin 45º kN)(3 cos 30º m)

    = -14.5 kN.m = 14.5 kN.m Ans.
