Moment of a force about a point A measure of the tendency of the force to cause a body to rotate about the point or axis. The moment of a force about a point O; MO = r x F MO r O A F

Moment of a force about a line In order to find the projected component of the moment about an axis. a Mo Ma F r a’
Moment of a force about a line as a Cartesian vector;
Example The magnitude of the force shown in the figure is 140 N. Determine; • The moment of F about point D. • The moment of F about a line joining D and A. • The angle btw. BG & DG. z G(2,0,3) A(0,6,0) y D(4,0,2) E(2,0,2) F C B(4,6,0) x
Moment of a Couple A couple consists of two forces of equal magnitude having parallel lines of action but opposite directions. F d F Moment of couple

Equivalent Force Systems • Translation of a force to a parallel position • Resultant of a force system • Distributed force systems
Translation of a force to a parallel position A force can be moved to any parallel position provided that a couple moment of the correct orientation and size is simultaneously provided. z F=6i+3j+6k Replace this force by an equivalent force system at point P? A(2,1,10) P(6,10,12) y x
Resultant of a force system Any force system can be replaced by any point by a single force and a single couple moment. MC:couple moments
Example F2 • If θ=60°, F1=15N, F2=80N, F3=50N compute the equivalent resultant force. • Determine the intercepts of this resultant force with x and y axes. • Find the magnitude and direction of force F3 such that the simplest resultant is only A COUPLE MOMENT at point O F1=15N, F2=80N. • If F1=15N, F2=80N, F3=50N find the direction of force F3 such that the simplest resultant is only a force at point O. • Determine the magnitude of force F1 and the magnitude and direction of F3 such that the equivalent force and the couple moment at point O are ZERO.

Distributed Force Systems • Volume Distribution If the force is distributed over the volume of a body. (e.g. Force of gravitational attraction. N/m3) • Area Distribution If the force is distributed over an area. (e.g. Hydraulic pressure of fluid. N/m2) • Line Distribution If the force is distributed along a line. (e.g. Vertical load supported by a suspended cable. N/m)
