Review Sheet for Chapters 4-5


Test is closed book, closed notes. Materials allowed are your calculator and this sheet.

1. Cross Product: C = A x B
a. Magnitude of A = |A| = ABsin
Direction is perpendicular to the plane containing A and B

b.     






 


c. Unit vector cross products


ixi=0
j x i = -k
kxi=j

ixj=k
jxj=0
k x j = -i

i x k= -j
j x k= i
k x k= 0

2. Moments
a. 2-dimensional
Mo = dF
(d is the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the force F and
the point O)
b. 3-dimensional



MO = r x F = 






 


c. Transmissibility of a force (acts like a sliding vector)


d. Principle of moments
e. Moment about a specified axis (mixed triple product)







MA = uA (r x F) =  


 


f. Couple moments
MO = r x F

where r is a position vector from anywhere along the line of action of


F to F

g. Resultant of a force and couple system


i. Movement of F to point O along its line of action
ii. Movement of F to point O off its line of action
h. Reduction of a force and couple system to a single equivalent force
i. Concurrent, coplanar, or parallel
i. Reduction to a force and a moment (wrench)
j. Reduction of a simple distributed loading
