MOMENT OF FORCE

Name: ____________________________________ Date: ________________


Year and Section: ___________________________ Subject: _____________
Instruction: Solve the following problem correctly. Strictly. NO ERASURES/CORRECTION ALLOWED;
ERASURES/CORRECTIONS MEANS WRONG.

1. Determine the moment of each of the three forces about point A and B. Refer to figure 1.
2. The towline exerts a force of P = 4 kN at the end of the 20-m-long crane boom. If x = 25 m, determine
the position u of the boom so that this force creates a maximum moment about point O . What is this
moment? Refer to figure 2.
3. Replace the coplanar force system that acts on the casting with an equivalent force-couple system, with
the force acting at (a) point O; and (b) point A. Refer to figure 3.
4. Determine the required magnitude of force F if the resultant couple moment on the frame is 200 lb # ft ,
clockwise. Refer to figure 4.
5. The tower crane is used to hoist a 2-Mg load upward at constant velocity. The 1.5-Mg jib BD and 0.5-
Mg jib BC have centers of mass at G1 and G2 , respectively. Determine the required mass of the
counterweight C so that the resultant moment produced by the load and the weight of the tower crane
jibs about point A is zero. The center of mass for the counterweight is located at G3 . Refer to figure 5.
6. The railway crossing gate consists of the 100-kg gate arm having a center of mass at Ga and the 250-kg
counterweight having a center of mass at GW . Determine the magnitude and directional sense of the
resultant moment produced by the weights about point A and B . Refer to figure 6.
7. Elements of the lower arm are shown in the figure 7. The mass of the forearm is 2.3 kg with mass center
at G. Determine the combined moment of the elbow pivot O of the weights of the forearm and the 3.6-kg
homogeneous sphere. What must the biceps tension force be so that the overall moment about O is zero?
8. Under nonuniform and slippery road conditions, the four forces shown are exerted on the four drive
wheels of the all-wheel-drive vehicle. Determine the resultant of this system and the x- and y-intercepts
of its line of action. Note that the front and rear tracks are equal. Refer to figure 8.
