From this problem, I want to know why point H's moment is negative. Also, why can't I use this formula? M = 750 lb * 18 in - 750 lb * 10 in.
The axle of a small truck is acted upon by the forces and couple shown. Knowing that the diameter of the axle is 1.47 in., determine the normal and shearing stresses at point H located on the top of the axle.
10 in
8 in.
750 lb
H
350 lb-in.
