Problem 226
In Fig. P-226 assuming clockwise moments as positive, compute the moment of
force F = 200 kg and force P = 165 kg about points A, B, C, and D.
AFy = F(#) = 200(4)
Fy = 160 kg
Fy = F($) = 200(3)
Fy =120 kg
Py = P(-2y) = 165(-45)
Py = 91.526 kg
Py = P( Fy) = 165()
Py = 137.288 kg
Moment of force F about points A, B, C, and D:
My =5(0.3)Fy = 5(0.3)(120)
M,=180kg-m —answer
Mg = —6(0.3)Fiz = —6(0.3)(160)
Mz = —288 kg-m — answer
Mg = -0.3Fy — 3(0.3) Fy = —0.3(120) — 3(0.3)(160)
Mc =-180kg-m —answer
Mp = 5(0-3)Fy — 6(0.3)Fy = 5(0.3)(120) — 6(0.3)(160)
Mg = —108 kg-m* — answerof force P about points A, B, C, and D:
Mg = 6(0.3)Py — 4(0.3)Py = 6(0.3)(91.526) — 4(0.3)(137.288)
Mg = 0 (this means that point A is on the line of action of force P) —*
answer
Mp = 0.3Py = 0.3(137.288)
Mg = 41.186 kg-m — answer
Me = 2(0.3)Py + 3(0.3) Px = 2(0.3)(137.288) + 3(0.3)(91.526)
Mg = 164.746 kg-m — answer
You can also resolve P to horizontal and vertical components at point E
then take the moment of these components at point C. 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.
Determine the moment of the resultant of these two forces with respect to O.[- v Click here to show or hide the solution
R.=P,-Q:
Rz = 890.c0s 30° — 445 cos 60°
Re = 548.26 N (tothe right)
Ry = Py +Qy
Ry = 890sin 30° + 445 sin 60°
R, = 830.38 N (upward)
Mo = 4Ry—3R,
Mo = 4(830.38) — 3(548.26)
Mo = 1676.74 N-m (counterclockwise) answer
The moment of resultant about O can be solved actually without the use of Ry
and Ry. 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.

Couple is a system of forces whose magnitude of the resultant is zero and yet has a
moment sum. Geometrically, couple is composed of two equal forces that are
Parallel to each other and acting in opposite direction. The magnitude of the couple
