Srb-chap6.3-Moment and Force Couple (3d)

1) Moment is a measure of the tendency of a force to cause rotation about an axis. It is calculated as the cross product of the position vector and the force vector. 2) The magnitude of the moment of a force about a point can be calculated as the product of the force magnitude and the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the point. 3) The moment of a force about an axis is the component of the moment vector that is parallel to the axis.

definition
CHAPTER 6.3: MOMENT OF A FORCE

Moment is the measure of


the capacity or ability of the force
to produce twisting or turning
effect about an axis. This axis is
perpendicular to the plane
containing the line of action of the
force.
moment ABOUT A POINT
CHAPTER 6.3: MOMENT OF A FORCE

The moment of the force F


about point O, called the moment
center, is defined as:

𝑴𝑶 = 𝒓 𝒙 𝑭
moment ABOUT A POINT
CHAPTER 6.3: MOMENT OF A FORCE

The moment of a force about a point can


always be computed using the cross product in previous
equation. However, a scalar computation of the
magnitude of the moment can be obtained from the
geometric interpretation. Observe that the magnitude of
𝑀𝑂 is given by

𝑀𝑂 = 𝑀𝑂 = 𝑟 𝑥 𝐹 = 𝑟𝐹𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃
in which 𝜃 is the angle between r and F. Returning to
figure, we see that

𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 = 𝑑
Therefore, the magnitude of 𝑀𝑂 is
𝑀𝑂 = 𝐹𝑑
moment ABOUT A POINT
CHAPTER 6.3: MOMENT OF A FORCE

The most efficient technique


for using the vector method (with
rectangular components) is the
following: (1) Write F in vector
form; (2) choose an r, and write it
in vector form; and (3) use the
determinant form of r x F to
evaluate 𝑀𝑂 .
moment ABOUT A POINT
CHAPTER 6.3: MOMENT OF A FORCE

In the scalar method, the


magnitude of the moment of the
force F about the point O is found
from 𝑀𝑂 = 𝐹𝑑 , where d is the
moment arm of the force.
VARIGNON’S THEOREM
Module iv: MOMENT OF A FORCE

The moment of a force about


a point is equal to sum of the
moments of its component about
that point.
