Equating the respective i, j, k components to zero, we have
6 Fx = 76.8 – 600 + Fx = 0 ; solving gives Fx = 523.2 N
6 Fy = 240 – 102.4 + Fy = 0 ; solving gives Fy = – 137.6 N
6 Fz = 180 – 900 + 153.6 + Fz = 0 ; solving gives Fz = 566.4 N
Thus, F 5 = {523 i – 138 j + 566 k} N

MOMENT OF A FORCE – SCALAR FORMULATION

MOMENT OF A FORCE - SCALAR FORMULATION
(continued)
As shown, d is the perpendicular distance from point O to the line of action of the force
In 2-D, the direction of MO is either clockwise (CW) or
counter-clockwise (CCW), depending on the tendency for
rotation
In a 2-D case, the magnitude of the moment is Mo = F d
Mechanics for Engineers: Statics, 13th SI Edition
R C Hibbeler and Kai Beng Yap © Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd 2013 All rights reserved
MOMENT OF A FORCE - SCALAR FORMULATION
(continued)
Often it is easier to determine
MO by using the components
of F as shown
Then MO = (FY a) – (FX b) Note the different signs on the
terms! The typical sign convention for a moment in 2-D is that counter-clockwise is considered positive We can determine the direction of rotation by imagining the body pinned at O and deciding which way the body would rotate because of the
force
For example, MO = F d and the direction is counter-clockwise

VECTOR CROSS PRODUCT (Section 4.2)
While finding the moment of a force in 2-D is straightforward when you know the perpendicular distance d, finding the perpendicular distances can be hard—especially when you are working with forces in three dimensions
So a more general approach to finding the moment of a
force exists This more general approach is usually used when dealing with three dimensional forces but can be used
in the two dimensional case as well
This more general method of finding the moment of a force uses a vector operation called the cross product of two
vectors
Mechanics for Engineers: Statics, 13th SI Edition
R C Hibbeler and Kai Beng Yap © Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd 2013 All rights reserved
CROSS PRODUCT (Section 4.2)
In general, the cross product of two vectors A and B results
in another vector, C , i.e., C = A uu B The magnitude and direction of the resulting vector can be written as
C = A u B = A B sin T u C
As shown, u C is the unit vector perpendicular to both A and
B vectors (or to the plane containing the A and B vectors)
Trang 26
Mechanics for Engineers: Statics, 13th SI Edition
R C Hibbeler and Kai Beng Yap © Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd 2013 All rights reserved
CROSS PRODUCT (continued)
The right-hand rule is a useful tool for determining the
direction of the vector resulting from a cross product
For example: i uu j = k
Note that a vector crossed into itself is zero, e.g., i u i = 0
Mechanics for Engineers: Statics, 13th SI Edition
R C Hibbeler and Kai Beng Yap © Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd 2013 All rights reserved
CROSS PRODUCT (continued)

Each component can be determined using 2 u 2 determinants

MOMENT OF A FORCE – VECTOR FORMULATION (Section 4.3)
Moments in 3-D can be calculated using scalar (2-D) approach, but it can be difficult and time consuming Thus, it is often
easier to use a mathematical approach called the vector cross product
Using the vector cross product, M O = r uu F
Here r is the position vector from point O to any point on the line of action of F
Mechanics for Engineers: Statics, 13th SI Edition
R C Hibbeler and Kai Beng Yap © Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd 2013 All rights reserved
MOMENT OF A FORCE – VECTOR FORMULATION
(continued)
So, using the cross product, a
moment can be expressed as
By expanding the above equation using 2 u 2 determinants (see Section 4.2), we get (sample units are N - m or lb - ft)
M O = (ry FZ - rZ Fy) (rx Fz - rz Fx ) j + (rx Fy - ry Fx ) k
The physical meaning of the above equation becomes evident
by considering the force components separately and using a
2-D formulation

In the figure above, the moment about the y-axis would
