This document contains the solution to determining the moment of a force F about a point O. The force F has direction angles of α=60°, β=120°, and γ=45°. The solution first defines the direction angles and the position vector D. It then calculates the Cartesian components of F and expresses it as a vector. Finally, it calculates the moment M of F about O by taking the cross product of D and the Cartesian force vector Fcomp.

Solution by DF Sozinando Student at the Vaal University of Technology

Determ ine the mom ent of the force F about point O. The force has coordinate diretion angles of =60o, =120o and =45o. Express the resultant as a cartesian vector.

:= 60deg

i := 120deg j := 45deg k 152 D := 203 + 152 mm 254 cos(60deg) Fcomp := 88.96N cos( 120deg ) cos(45deg) 33.629 M = 1.736 N m -22.551

M := D Fcomp
