Question

Problem 2. Force \textbf{F} acts at corner E of the rectangular plate. Hinges at A and B and a roller beneath corner D support the plate. Treat the hinges as points along the x axis. Determine the moment of force \textbf{F} about: (a) hinge A, (b) hinge B, (c) the x-axis, (d) line DO, (e) line AD, (f) line BD, and (g) line CD. In determining the moment of force \textbf{F} about lines, compute the magnitude only. \textbf{F} = (4\textbf{i} + 4\textbf{j} - 2\textbf{k})kN

Step 1

We can do this by subtracting the position vector of point A from the position vector of point E. Position vector of point A = 0i + 0j + 0k (since point A is the origin) Position vector of point E = 4i + 4j + 2k Position vector of E relative to A = (4i + 4j + Show more…
