Notes on Side #3 ThemomentaboutapointObyaforceF that acts at a point P is defined by M O (r P r O F, where r P r O is the vector pointing from point O to point P. If forces F, F, F 3,..., F N act on particles P,P,P 3,..., P n,thatarelocatedatpositionsr, r, r 3,..., r N, as measured from point O, then moment about a point O due to these forces is given by M O (r i F i. Note that is no force acts on, say particle P k,thenf k 0. A couple is a set of forces that add to zero, so that rx F i 0, if these forces act at positions r, r, r 3,..., r r,asmeasuredfrompointo, the couple of these forces about point O is defined as this need not be zero. C O rx (r i F i Notes on Side #4 Now the resultant force acting on a system of particle does not depend on the origin, but the resultant moment does depend on the choice of origin. In fact, if we use P r i P r O + O r i then we have M P ( P r i F k (( P r O + O r i F i ( O r i F i + P r O F i
or M P M O + P r O F. where r O/P is a vector pointing from P to O. When F 0, asinacouple,wehave C P C O, showing that a couple is independent of the choice of reference point (P or O. Notes on Side #6 Starting with M P M O + P r O F we note that M O M P P r O F. Given a non-zero vector B, we know that any vector (say A can always be written as a sum of two parts, one part parallel to B the other part perpendicular to B. To show this we start with A B + B where B k αb B B 0. This leads to or Then B A αb resulting in (A αb B 0 Note that we may write this as so we have B α B A B B. B A αb A (B BA (A BB B B A B A B + B B A B B. B B (B A B B B B A B. B B for any non-zero vector B. NotethatifB is an unit vector (i.e., b, then this reads A ³ b A b + ³ b A b.
If we apply this to M O F, wehave F MO F MO M O M O + M O F + F F F F comparing this to M O M P P r O F we see that by choosing P so that P r O F M O F F then we will have M O P r O F M P M O, which is then parallel to F.

Suppose now that the system is a rigid body so that the particles P i are fixedintherigidbodyb suppose that P is some arbitrary point fixedinb.ifwethenchoosepasa reference point in B, we may use the fact that A v P i A v P + A ω B P r P i for each particle P i,where A ω B is the angular velocity of B as measured by A. Then we may write A v P i j (A v P i (A v P + A ω B P r Pi (A v P + (A ω B P r Pi 3

It consists of two uniform rods (a left rod a right rod connected to each other by a revolutejoint. Theleftendoftherodontheleft(thecrankisfreetorotate about a fixed revolute joint.

Now the torques τ τ are applied about the pivots at the origin at wherethetwoarmsmeettheforcef is applied at point P the moment M z is applied about point P.
