Problem 4.26
The steering wheel of a Ferrari sports car has circular shape with 190 mm radius, and
it lies in a plane that is perpendicular to the steering column AB. Point C , where the
driver’s hand applies force FE to the steering wheel, lies on the y axis with y coordinate
yC D 190 mm. Point A is at the origin of the coordinate system, and point B has the
coordinates B .120; 0; 50/ mm. Determine the moment of FE about line AB of the
steering column if
(a) FE has 10 N magnitude and lies in the plane of the steering wheel and has orienta-
tion such that its moment arm to line AB is 190 mm. Also determine the vector
expression for this force.

Problem 4.27
A rectangular piece of sheet metal is clamped along edge AB in a machine called a
brake. The sheet is to be bent along line AB by applying a y direction force F . Deter-
mine the moment about line AB if F D 200 lb. Use both vector and scalar approaches.
Problem 4.28
In Prob. 4.27 determine F if the moment about line AB is to be 2000 in.lb.
Problem 4.29
In the pipe assembly shown, points B and C lie in the xy plane, and force F is parallel
to the ´ axis. If F D 150 N, determine the moment of F about lines OA and AB. Use
both vector and scalar approaches.
Problem 4.30
In the pipe assembly shown, points B and C lie in the xy plane and force F is parallel
Figure P4.29 and P4.30 to the ´ axis. If a twisting moment (torque) of 50 Nm will cause a pipe to begin twist-
ing in the flange fitting at O or at either end of the elbow fitting at A, determine the
first fitting that twists and the value of F that causes it.
