4.53 Determine the resultant moment of the two forces about the 0a axis.

Express the result as a Cartesian vector.

If we are dealing with three dimensional components of force and moment arms, it is best to use a cross product setup. Look at F1 and its moment component u u r F1 = F1 cos i + F1 cos + F cos k j 1 = ( 80 lb ) cos ( 1200 ) i + ( 80 lb ) cos ( 600 ) + ( 80 lb ) cos ( 450 ) k j = 40 lb i + 40 lb + 56.57 lb k j ur u r0 B =

( ( 4 ft ) sin ( 30 ) 0 ft ) i + ( ( 4 ft ) cos ( 30 ) 0 ft ) j + ( 6 ft 0 ft ) k

= ( ( 3.46 ft ) ( 56.57 lb ) ( 40 lb ) ( 6 ft ) ) i ( ( 2 ft ) ( 56.57 lb ) ( 40 lb ) ( 6 ft ) ) j + ( ( 2 ft ) ( 40 lb ) ( 40 lb ) ( 3.46 ft ) ) k = 44.04 lb-ft i 353.14 lb-ft + 218.56 lb-ft k j

Look at F2 and its moment component. ur u F2 = 0 lb i + 0 lb + 50 lb k j ur u r0 A = ( 0 ft 0 ft ) i + 5 ft sin ( 300 ) 0 ft + ( 0 ft 0 ft ) k j

= ( ( 2.5 ft ) ( 50 lb ) ( 0 lb ) ( 0 ft ) ) i ( ( 0 ft ) ( 50 lb ) ( 0 lb ) ( 0 ft ) ) j + ( ( 0 ft ) ( 0 lb ) ( 0 lb ) ( 2.5 ft ) ) k = 125 lb-ft i + 0 lb-ft + 0 lb-ft k j Combine the two moments to find the moment at the origin. uu ur r u ur u ur ur u u r u u r u M 0 = ri Fi = r0 B F1 + r0 A F2

( + ( 125 lb-ft i + 0 lb-ft + 0 lb-ft k ) j

= 0.866 i 0.5 + 0 k j

The dot product between the unit vector and the M0 will give the magnitude of the moment about the 0a axis u u uu ur u r M 0 a = M 0 * u0 a

= 169.04 lb-ft i 353.14 lb-ft + 218.56 lb-ft k * j

= ( 0.866 ) ( 169.04 lb-ft ) + ( 0.5 ) ( 353.14 lb-ft ) + ( 0 ) ( 218.56 lb-ft ) = 30.18 lb-ft The moment about 0a is expressed as a Cartesian vector u ur uu uu u r M 0 a = M 0 a u0 a

( 0.866 i 0.5 j + 0 k )

= ( 30.18 lb-ft ) 0.866 i 0.5 + 0 k j = 26.14 lb-ft i 15.09 lb-ft + 0 k j

4.615 The lug and box wrenches are used in combination to remove the lug nut from the wheel hub. If the applied force on the end of the box wrench is F=(4i 12j + 2k) N, determine the magnitude of the moment about this force about the x axis which is effective in unscrewing the lug nut.

Compute the moment at the lug nut by the force F. u r F = 4 N i 12 N + 2 N k j ur u r0 A = ( 0.25 m 0 m ) i + ( 0.075 m 0 m ) + ( 0.30 m 0 m ) k j = 0.25 m i + 0.075 m + 0.30 m k j u ur ur u uu u r M 0 A = r0 A F i j k = 0.25 m 0.075 m 0.30 m 4N 12 N 2N = ( ( 0.075 m ) ( 2 N ) ( 12 N ) ( 0.30 m ) ) i ( ( 0.25 m ) ( 2 N ) ( 4 N ) ( 0.30 m ) ) j + ( ( 0.25 m ) ( 12 N ) ( 4 N ) ( 0.075 m ) ) k = 3.75 N-m i + 0.7 N-m 3.30 N-m k j The lug nut is acting along the x axis therefore the unit vector is 1 i + 0 j + 0 k. The dot product results in the magnitude acting on the lug nut. uu uu ur ur M 0 A = M 0 * u0 A

= ( 1.0 ) ( 3.75 N-mt ) + ( 0 ) ( 0.7 N-m ) + ( 0 ) ( 3.3 N-m ) = 3.75 N-m

4.66 The A-frame is being hoisted into an upright position by the vertical force of F = 80 lb. Determine the moment of this force about the y axis when the frame is in the position shown.

Compute the moment in the x and y coordinate system. You will need to compute the location of point C. The A-frame is symmetrical so the y component is + 3 ft. Find r vector from the origin to point C and compute the moment. u r F = 0 lb i + 0 lb + 80 lb k j ur u r0C = 6 ft cos ( 150 ) 0 ft i + ( 3 ft 0 ft ) + 6 ft sin ( 150 ) 0 ft k j

The dot product between the unit vector and the M0 will give the magnitude of the moment about the y axis u u ur ur u M y = M 0 * uy = 240 lb-ft i + 464.0 lb-ft + 0 lb-ft k * j

= ( 0.5 ) ( 240 lb-ft ) + ( 0.866 ) ( 464 lb-ft ) + ( 0 ) ( 0.0 lb-ft ) = 281.8 lb-ft
