- The 6.4-kN force F is applied at point A. (a) Compute the moment of F about point O, expressing it both as a scalar (positive if CCW, negative if CW) and as a vector quantity. (b) Determine the coordinates of the points on the x- and y-axes about which the moment of F is zero. Assume XA = 0.8 m, yд = 1.2 m, a = 7, b = 11. y, m I 1 A (x, y) F b a -x, marrow_forwardA solid cylindrical shaft anchored to the wall at point O is subjected to 70 N and 85 N couples and a concentrated moment at point E. Determine the resultant couple moment. Hint: You can do this in either of two ways by applying (1) a "scalar" approach by evaluating the individual moments of the x, y, and z components of the 70N and 85N forces, taking positive moments to be in the positive coordinate directions according to the right-hand rule., or (2) the "vector approach" utilizing 3D position vectors using the general cross product definition for the force moment. 70 N 0.8 m 1.2 m 2 6 70 N 1.2 m 0.8 m 9 85 N 12 9 12 -1.2m 1.5m 8 D 85 N C 8 E 200 N·m Xarrow_forwardCalculate the moment MB of the 605-N force about the bolt at B. Simplify your work by first replacing the force by its equivalent force- couple system at A. The moment is positive if counterclockwise, negative if clockwise.
