Moments 7:

Problem 1:

Replace the three forces acting on the plate


by a wrench. Specify the magnitude of the
force and couple moment for the wrench
and the point P(y,z) where its line of action
intersects the plate.

Solution:
Resultant Force Vector :
FR = {− 40 i − 60 j− 80 k }lb
FR = ( −40) 2 + ( −60) 2 + ( −80) 2 = 107.7 lb
FR {− 40 i − 60 j− 80 k }
u FR = =
FR 107.7
⇒ u FR = {− 0.3714 i − 0.5571 j− 0.7428 k }lb

Resultant Moment : The line of action of M R of the wrench is


parallel to the line of action of FR . Assume that both FR and M R
have the same sense.
⇒ u M R = {− 0.3714 i − 0.5571 j− 0.7428 k }lb

u M R = {− 0.3714 i − 0.5571 j− 0.7428 k}lb


Let x' , y' , z' be the axes with origin P
(M R )x' = ∑M x'
⇒ −0.3714 M R = 60(12 − z ) + 80 y (1)

(M R )y' = ∑M y'
⇒ −0.5571M R = 40 z ( 2)

(M R )z ' = ∑M z '
⇒ −0.7428 M R = 40(12 − y ) (3)
− 0.3714 M R = 60(12 − z ) + 80 y (1)
− 0.5571M R = 40 z ( 2)
− 0.7428 M R = 40(12 − y ) (3)

Solve the system of 3 equations :


( 2) ⇒ M R = −71.8 z

Substitute (2) in (1) and (3)


- 0.3714(-71.8z) = 60(12 - z) + 80y
⇒
 − 0.7428( −71.8 z ) = 40(12 − y )
86.67 z = 720 + 80y
⇒
53.33 z = 480 − 40 y
z = 8.31 + 0.92 y ( 4)
⇒
 z = 9 − 0.75 y (5)
M R = −71.8 z ( 2)
z = 8.31 + 0.92 y ( 4)

 z = 9 − 0.75 y ( 5)

( 4) in (5) ⇒ 8.31 + 0.92 y = 9 − 0.75 y


⇒ y = 0.41 ft

Substitute y = 0.41 ft in equation (5)


⇒ z = 9 − 0.75(0.41) = 8.69 ft

⇒ P(0.41 , 8.69) ft
M R = −71.8 z ( 2)
P(0.41 , 8.69) ft

M R = −71.8 z
⇒ M R = −71.8(8.69) = −624 lb.ft
⇒ M R = −624 lb.ft at P(0.41 , 8.69) ft

The negative sign indicates that the line of action


of M R is directed in the opposite sense to that of FR .
