Statics – Set 2

Instruction: Present your solution in details.

Note:
Resultant Force covers the following:
a. Cross Product
b. Moment of a Force
c. Principle of Moment
d. Moment of a force about specific axis
e. Moment of Couple
f. Force and Couple System

I. Problems

1. Determine the resultant moment produced by forces Fb and Fc about point O. Express
the result as a Cartesian Vector.
2. Determine the magnitude of the moment that the force F exerts about the y – axis of the
shaft. Solve the problem using a Cartesian vector approach and using a scalar approach.

3. The caster wheel is subjected to the two couples. Determine the forces F that the bearings
exert on the shaft so that the resultant couple moment on the caster is zero.
4. Determine the resultant couple moment acting on the beam. Solve the problem two ways;
(a) sum moments about point O, and (b) sum moments about point A.

5. Replace the loading system by an equivalent resultant force and couple moment acting at
point A.
