The perpendicular distance between a line joining points O and D.

Answer to Problem 3.64P
The perpendicular distance between a line joining points O and D is d=9.50 in.
Explanation of Solution
Refer the Problem 3.55
Write the expression for force P in terms of unit
→EH=(30 in)ˆi−(7.5 in)ˆj+(10 in)ˆk
The magnitude of the line joining points E and H is,
EH=√(30 in)2+(−7.5 in)2+(10 in)2=32.5 in
The unit vector at line joining points E and H is,
λEH=→EHEH
Here, the unit vector at line joining points E and H is λEH.
Substitute (30 in)ˆi−(7.5 in)ˆj+(10 in)ˆk for →EH and 32.5 in for EH.
λEH=(30 in)ˆi−(7.5 in)ˆj+(10 in)ˆk32.5 in=0.923ˆi−0.231ˆj+0.308ˆk
Write the equation of the moment of P about a line joining points E and H is
→P=PλEH (I)
Here, the moment of force is P and the force.
Conclusion:
Substitute 520 lb for P and 0.923ˆi−0.231ˆj+0.308ˆk for λEH in equation (I).
→P=(520 lb)(0.923ˆi−0.231ˆj+0.308ˆk)=(480.0 lb)ˆi−(120.0 lb)ˆj+(160.0 lb)ˆk
Write the expression for force P in terms of unit vector at line joining points O and D:
→OD=(30 in)ˆi+(15 in)ˆj+(10 in)ˆk
The magnitude of the line joining points O and D is,
OD=√(30 in)2+(15 in)2+(10 in)2=35 in
The unit vector at line joining points O and D is,
λOD=→ODOD
Here, the unit vector at line joining points O and D is λOD.
Substitute (30 in)ˆi+(15 in)ˆj+(10 in)ˆk for →OD and 35 in for OD.
λOD=(30 in)ˆi+(15 in)ˆj+(10 in)ˆk35 in=0.857ˆi+0.429ˆj+0.286ˆk
Write the equation of the moment of P about a line joining points O and D is
Pparallel=→PλOD (II)
Here, the perpendicular component contribute to the moment of force about the line OD is →P
Substitute (480.0 lb)ˆi−(120.0 lb)ˆj+(160.0 lb)ˆk for →P and 0.857ˆi+0.429ˆj+0.286ˆk for λOD in equation (II).
Pparallel=((480.0 lb)ˆi−(120.0 lb)ˆj+(160.0 lb)ˆk)(0.857ˆi+0.429ˆj+0.286ˆk)=411.4 lb−51.5 lb+45.8 lb=405.7 lb
The relation between perpendicular and parallel component contribute to the moment of force is,
P2=P2parallel+P2perpendicular (III)
Here, the parallel component of moment is Pparallel and perpendicular component of moment is Pperpendicular.
Rewrite the equation (III) to get Pperpendicular.
Pperpendicular=√P2−P2parallel
Substitute 405.7 lb for Pparallel and 520 lb for P.
Pperpendicular=√(520 lb)2−(405.7 lb)2=325.28 lb
Write the equation for the moment about a line joining points O and D.
MOD=d(P)perpendicular
Here, the moment about a line joining points O and D is MOD and the perpendicular distance is d.
Rewrite the relation in terms of d.
d=MOD(P)perpendicular
Refer the problem 77268-3.2-3.55P
The value of the moment line joining points F and B is MFB is 3090 lb⋅in
Substitute 3090 lb⋅in for MOD and 325.28 lb for (P)perpendicular.
d=3090 lb⋅in325.28 lb=9.50 in
Therefore, the perpendicular distance between a line joining points O and D is d=9.50 in.
