  3. Calculating the moment using rectangular components • The moment of a force F about the axis passing through point O and perpendicular to the plane containing O and F can be expressed using the cross product: • Mo = r x F • The magnitude of the moment is the area shown below: Statics (MET 2214) Prof. S. Nasseri

  4. Calculating the moment using rectangular components • Mo = | r x F | = r F sinθ • r = x i + y j + z k • F = Fx i + Fy j + Fz k Statics (MET 2214) Prof. S. Nasseri

  7. Moment about an axis • Sometimes the moment about a pointis known and you are supposed to calculate its component about an axis. To find the moment, consider the dot product of Mo and unit vector along axis a: O: any point on a-a Statics (MET 2214) Prof. S. Nasseri

  8. Moment about an axis You can also find the tangent force Fθ and then r x Fθ is the moment about aa: Statics (MET 2214) Prof. S. Nasseri

  9. Example 1 • Force F causes a moment MO about point O. What is the component of MO along axis oy (My)? Statics (MET 2214) Prof. S. Nasseri

  10. Scalar Analysis • There are 2 methods to find My • Scalar Analysis • Vector Analysis • (1) Scalar Analysis (first way): • MO = (20)(0.5) = 10 N.m • Imagine that we have found the direction of this moment (shown in figure) • MO tends to turn the pipe around axis ob. The component of MO along the y-axis, My, tends to unscrew the pipe from the flange at O. • Thus it is important to know its value. • My = (3/5)(10) = 6 N.m Statics (MET 2214) Prof. S. Nasseri

  11. Scalar Analysis • Scalar Analysis (second way): • To find My directly (not form MO) it is necessary to determine the moment-arm, knowing that the distance from F to the y-axis is 0.3m: • My = (20)(0.3) = 6 N.m • In general, If the line of action of a force F is perpendicular to any specific axis aa thus: • Ma = F .da Statics (MET 2214) Prof. S. Nasseri

  12. Vector Analysis • First, use the cross product formula to calculate the moment about O: • MO = rA × F • MO = (0.3i + 0.4j) × (-20k) • MO = {-8i + 6j} N.m • Then use the dot product of MO and the unit vector along y-axis to get My: • My = MO . ua • My = (-8i + 6j). (j) • My = 6 N.m Statics (MET 2214) Prof. S. Nasseri

  13. My = (rA × F) . ua OrMy = ua. (rA × F) Which is called triple scalar product Vector Analysis • We can always combine the two previous equations that you saw into one: • MO = rA × F yielding a scalar • My = MO . Ua Statics (MET 2214) Prof. S. Nasseri
