3 Moments in 2-D The moment of a force about a point provides a measure of the tendency for rotation (sometimes called torque). Moments in 2-D - continued In the 2-D case, the magnitude of the moment is: M o = Fd As shown, d is the perpendicular distance from point O to the line of action of the force F. In 2-D, the direction of M O is either clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on the tendency for rotation. Engr221 Chapter 4 3

4 Moments in 2-D - continued b O d a F b O a F y F F x For example, M O = Fd and the direction is counter-clockwise. Often it is easier to determine M O by using the components of F. Using this approach, M O = (F Y a) (F X b). Note the different signs on the terms. The typical sign convention for a moment in 2-D is that counter-clockwise is considered positive. We can determine the direction of rotation by imagining the body pinned at O and deciding which way the body would rotate due to the force. 3-D Moments and Vector Formulation Moments in 3-D can be calculated using a scalar (2-D) approach but it can be difficult and time consuming. Thus, it is often easier to use a mathematical approach called the vector cross product. Using the vector cross product, M O = r F Here, r is a position vector from point O to any point on the line of action of force F. Engr221 Chapter 4 4

5 Cross Product In general, the cross product of two vectors A and B results in another vector C, i.e., C = A B. The magnitude and direction of the resulting vector can be written as C = A B = (AB sinθ) u C Here, u C is the unit vector perpendicular to both the A and B vectors as shown (or to the plane containing the A and B vectors). The right hand rule is useful for determining the direction of the vector resulting from a cross product. For example: i j = k Cross Product - continued Note that a vector crossed into itself is zero, e.g., i i = 0 Engr221 Chapter 4 5

6 Cross Product - continued Of even more utility, the cross product can be written as and each component can be determined using 2 2 determinants: Moments in 3-D So, using the cross product, a moment can be expressed as By expanding the above equation using the 2 2 determinants (see Section 4.2 in your textbook), we get M O = (r y F z - r z F y ) i - (r x F z - r z F x ) j + (r x F y - r y F x ) k The physical meaning of the above equation becomes evident by considering the force components separately and using a 2-D formulation. Units of moments are N-m or lb-ft. Engr221 Chapter 4 6

14 Applications With the force F, a person is creating the moment M A. What portion of M A is used in turning the socket? The force F is creating the moment M O. How much of M O acts to unscrew the pipe? Scalar Analysis Recall that the moment of a force about any point A is M A = Fd A where d A is the perpendicular distance from the point to the force s line of action. This concept can be extended to find the moment of a force about an axis. In the figure above, the moment about the y-axis would be M y = 20(0.3) = 6 Nm. This calculation is not always trivial and vector analysis is usually preferable. Engr221 Chapter 4 14

15 Vector Analysis Our goal is to find the moment of F (the tendency to rotate the body) about the axis a a. First, compute the moment of F about any arbitrary point O that lies on the a a axis using the cross product: M O = r OA F Now, find the component of M O along the axis a a using the dot product: M a a = u a M O Vector Analysis - continued M a a can also be obtained as The above equation is called the triple scalar product.

Which one of the two grips of the wheel above will require less force to rotate the wheel? Engr221 Chapter 4 21

22 Applications - continued The crossbar lug wrench is being used to loosen a lug net. What is the effect of changing dimensions a, b, or c on the force that must be applied? Moment of a Couple A couple is defined as two parallel forces with the same magnitude but opposite in direction, separated by a perpendicular distance d. The moment of a couple is defined as: M = Fd (using a scalar analysis) or as M = r F (using a vector analysis). Here, r is any position vector from the line of action of F to the line of action of F. Engr221 Chapter 4 22

23 Moment of a Couple - continued The net external effect of a couple is that the net force equals zero and the magnitude of the net moment equals Fd. Since the moment of a couple depends only on the distance between the forces, the moment of a couple is a free vector. It can be moved anywhere on the body and have the same external effect on the body. Moments due to couples can be added using the same rules as adding any vectors. Example A Scalar Approach Given: Two couples act on the beam and d = 8 ft Find: The resultant couple Plan: 1) Resolve the forces in x and y directions so they can be treated easily as couples 2) Determine the net moment due to the two couples Engr221 Chapter 4 23

24 The net moment is: Example A - continued + ΣM = -(48)(4) + (40)(cos 30º)(8) lb ft = = 85.1 lb ft The x and y components of the top 60 lb force are: (4/5)(60 lb) = 48 lb vertically up (3/5)(60 lb) = 36 lb to the left Similarly, for the top 40 lb force: (40 lb) (sin 30 ) up (40 lb) (cos 30 ) to the left Example B Vector Approach Given: A force couple acting on the rod A B Find: Plan: The couple moment acting on the rod in Cartesian vector notation 1) Use M = r F to find the couple moment 2) Set r = r AB and F = {14i 8j 6k} N 3) Calculate the cross product to find M Engr221 Chapter 4 24

26 Example C - continued From the definition of a couple: P = 500 N and F = 300 N Resolve the 300 N force into vertical and horizontal components. The vertical component is (300 cos 30º) N and the horizontal component is (300 sin 30º) N It was given that the net moment equals zero. So + ΣM = - (500)(2) + (300 cos 30º)(d) - (300 sin 30º)(0.2) = 0 Solving this equation for d yields d = ( sin 30º) / (300 cos 30º) = 3.96 m Example D Vector Approach Given: F = {25 k} N and - F = {- 25 k} N Find: The couple moment acting on the pipe assembly, using Cartesian vector notation. Plan: 1) Use M = r F to find the couple moment 2) Set r = r AB and F = {25 k} N 3) Calculate the cross product to find M Engr221 Chapter 4 26

30 Announcements Equivalent Force and Couple Systems Today s Objectives Determine the effect of moving a force Find an equivalent force-couple system for a system of forces and couples Class Activities Applications Equivalent systems System reduction Examples Engr221 Chapter 4 30

31 Applications What is the resultant effect on the person s hand when the force is applied in four different ways? Applications - continued Several forces and a couple moment are acting on this vertical section of an I-beam.?? Can you replace them with just one force and one couple moment at point O that will have the same external effect? If yes, how will you do that? Engr221 Chapter 4 31

32 An Equivalent Force System = When a number of forces and couple moments are acting on a body, it is easier to understand their overall effect on the body if they are combined into a single force and couple moment having the same external effect. The two force and couple systems are called equivalent systems since they have the same external effect on the body. Moving a Force On its Line of Action Moving a force from A to O, when both points are on the vectors line of action, does not change the external effect. Hence, a force vector is called a sliding vector. (But the internal effect of the force on the body does depend on where the force is applied). Engr221 Chapter 4 32

33 Moving a Force Off its Line of Action Moving a force from point A to O (as shown above) requires creating an additional couple moment. Since this new couple moment is a free vector, it can be applied at any point P on the body. Resultant of a Force and Couple System When several forces and couple moments act on a body, you can move each force and its associated couple moment to a common point O. Now you can add all the forces and couple moments together and find one resultant force-couple moment pair. Engr221 Chapter 4 33

34 Resultant of a Force and Couple System If the force system lies in the x-y plane (the 2-D case), then the reduced equivalent system can be obtained using the following three scalar equations: Force-Moment Reduction = = If F R and M RO are perpendicular to each other, then the system can be further reduced to a single force, F R, by simply moving F R from O to P. In three special cases, concurrent, coplanar, and parallel systems of forces, the system can always be reduced to a single force. Engr221 Chapter 4 34

37 Example C Given:A 2-D force and couple system as shown Find: The equivalent resultant force and couple moment acting at A Plan: 1) Sum all the x and y components of the forces to find F RA 2) Find and sum all the moments resulting from moving each force to A and add them to the 500 lb-ft free moment to find the resultant M RA Example C - continued Summing the force components: + ΣF x = (4/5) 150 lb + 50 lb sin 30 = 145 lb + ΣF y = (3/5) 150 lb + 50 lb cos 30 = 133 lb Now find the magnitude and direction of the resultant: F RA = ( ) 1/2 = 197 lb and θ = tan -1 (133.3/145) = M RA = { (4/5)(150)(2) 50 cos30 (3) + 50 sin30 (6) } = 760 lb ft Engr221 Chapter 4 37

Is it possible to reduce this force system to a single force that will have the same external effect? If yes, how? Engr221 Chapter 4 41

42 Applications - continued The sandbags on the beam create a distributed load. How can we determine a single equivalent resultant force and its location? Distributed Loading In many situations a surface area of a body is subjected to a distributed load. Such forces are caused by winds, fluids, or the weight of items on the body s surface. We will analyze the most common case of a distributed pressure loading. This is a uniform load along one axis of a flat rectangular body. In such cases, w is a function of x and has units of force per length. Engr221 Chapter 4 42

43 Magnitude of Resultant Force Consider an element of length dx. The force magnitude df acting on it is given as df = w(x) dx The net force on the beam is given by + F R = L df = L w(x) dx = A Here, A is the area under the loading curve w(x). Location of the Resultant Force The force df will produce a moment of (x)(df) about point O. The total moment about point O is given as + M RO = L x df = L x w(x) dx Assuming that F R acts at x, it will produce the moment about point O as + M RO = x (F R ) = L x w(x) dx Engr221 Chapter 4 43

44 Location of the Resultant Force - continued Comparing the last two equations, we get In other words, F R acts through a point C, which is called the geometric center or centroid of the area under the loading curve w(x). Examples We will usually consider only rectangular and triangular loading diagrams whose centroids are well defined and shown on the inside back cover of your textbook. In the rectangular loading, F R = = 4,000 lb, x = 5 ft In the triangular loading, F R = (0.5) (600) (6) = 1,800N and x = 6 (1/3) 6 = 4 m Note that the centroid in a right triangle is at a distance one third the width of the triangle as measured from its base.
