11 Problem etermine the sum of the moments eerted on the plate b the three couples. (The 80-lb forces are contained in the - plane.) 20 lb 20 lb 40 lb 8 ft The moments of two of the couples can be determined from inspection: 40 lb lb lb M 1 M 2 = (3)(20)k = 60k ft lb. = (8)(40)j = 320j ft lb The forces in the 3rd couple are resolved: = (80)(i sin 60 + k cos 60 )=69.282i +40k 20 lb 20 lb 8 ft 40 lb The two forces in the third couple are separated b the vector 40 lb r 3 =(6i +8k) (8k) =6i lb lb The moment is M 3 = r 3 3 = = 240j.

12 Problem In Problem 4.125, the forces =2i +6j +3k (kn), = i 2j +2k (kn), and the couple M = M j + M k (kn-m). etermine the values for M and M, so that the sum of the moments of the two forces and the couple about is ero. rom the solution to Problem 4.125, the sum of the moments of the two forces about is M orces =0i 7j +2k (kn-m). The required moment, M, must be the negative of this sum. Thus M =7(kN-m), and M = 2 (kn-m). Problem Two wrenches are used to tighten an elbow fitting. The force = 10k (lb) on the right wrench is applied at (6, 5, 3) in., and the force on the left wrench is applied at (4, 5, 3) in. (a) etermine the moment about the ais due to the force eerted on the right wrench. (b) etermine the moment of the couple formed b the forces eerted on the two wrenches. (c) ased on the results of (a) and (b), eplain wh two wrenches are used. The position vector of the force on the right wrench is r R =6i 5j 3k. The magnitude of the moment about the -ais is M R = e X (r R ) = = 50 in lb from which M XL =50i in lb, which is opposite in direction and equal in magnitude to the moment eerted on the -ais b the right wrench. The left wrench force is applied 2 in nearer the origin than the right wrench force, hence the moment must be absorbed b the space between, where it is wanted. (a) The moment about the -ais is M R = M R e X = 50i (in lb). (b) The moment of the couple is M =(r R r L ) R = = 20j in lb (c) The objective is to appl a moment to the elbow relative to connecting pipe, and ero resultant moment to the pipe itself. resultant moment about the -ais will affect the joint at the origin. However the use of two wrenches results in a net ero moment about the -ais the moment is absorbed at the juncture of the elbow and the pipe. This is demonstrated b calculating the moment about the -ais due to the left wrench: M X = e X (r L L )= =50in lb
