Quiz 3

1. A rigid body analysis is employed when _____________________________

______________________________________________________________
2. Write down the vectorial (2-D and 3-D) and non-vectorial formula (2-D) for moment:
______________________________________________________
3. Moment is not produced when the line of action passes through point of reference.
(True/False)
4. In non-vectorial approach of calculating the moment, the force and distance must be
________________.
5. In vectorial approach of calculating the moment, the radius vector is defined as the distance
from point (where force is applied/of origin) to the point (where force is applied / of origin).
6. In non-vectorial approach, the standard rule of rotational sense is that counterclockwise
rotational sense gives (positive / negative) moment and clockwise rotational sense gives
(positive / negative) moment.

replaced by an equivalent force-moment couple system?
