The answer would be the same. Try it. Mp = —4(0.3)Py = —4(0.3)(137.288) Mp = —164.746 kg-m — answer Problem 227 Two forces P and Q pass through a point A which is 4 m to the right of and 3 m above a moment center O. Force P is 890 N directed up to the right at 30° with the horizontal and force Q is 445 N directed up to the left at 60° with the horizontal.

The moment effect of the components of R is the same as the combined moment effect of the components P and Q. Thus, Mo = 4Py + 4Qy + 3Qz — 3Pz. Try it. You can also find Mo by finding the magnitude of R and its moment arm about point O. Moment arm is the perpendicular distance between the line of action of Rand point O. 228 Without computing the magnitude of the resultant, compute where the resultant of the forces shown in Fig. P-228 intersects the x and y axes. z= | -_ 500 Ib P = 500(%4) = 353.55 Ib tothe right P, = 500(4p) = 353.55 Ib upward Qz = 361( Fy) = 300.37 Ib to the right Qy = 361( fz) = 200.25 Ib downward 5° Mo = 5Qy = 5(200.25) Mo = 1001.25 Ib-in. —_ clockwise O"mmathalino.com Q= R, = P, + Qz = 353.55 + 300.37 R, = 653.92 lb tothe right Ry = Py — Qy = 353.55 — 200.25 Ry = 153.3 Ib upward x-intercept of the resultant aR = Mo a(153.3) = 1001.25 a=6.53 in. totheleft of pointO answer | y-intereept of the resultant bR, = Mo 4(653.92) = 1001.25 b=1.53 in. above pointO answer Problem 229 In Fig. P-229, find the y-coordinate of point A so that the 361-Ib force will have a clockwise moment of 400 ft-lb about O.

Geometrically, couple is composed of two equal forces that are Parallel to each other and acting in opposite direction. The magnitude of the couple Where F are the two forces and dis the moment arm, or the perpendicular distance between the forces. Couple is independent of the moment center, thus, the effect is unchanged in the following conditions. . The couple is rotated through any angle in its plane. - The couple is shifted to any other position in its plane. « The couple is shifted to a parallel plane. = is composed entirely of couples in the same or 1a ae ane reuple whose magne the agers te original couples.
