    The document describes solving two physics problems involving forces and moments. Problem 4 involves reducing a system of forces on a beam to an equivalent force and moment. The forces are summed and a moment is calculated. Problem 5 determines the moments of two forces about x, y, and z axes. The forces are resolved into components, and the moments are calculated using the definitions of moment and the perpendicular distance between each force and the axis.

    Problem 4

    Reduce the system of forces acting on the beam shown in the fig. into a force at A and a couple.

    100.00N 400.00N 200.00N

    4m 4m 4m

    600.00N

    Solution

    100.00N 400.00N 200.00N

    4m 4m 4m

    600.00N

    R= 100 + 400 + 200 - 600 = 100.00N

    MA = 100(4) + 400(8) + 200(12) = 6000N.m

    100.00N

    6000N.m

    Problem 5
    Determine the moment of the two forces about x, y and z axez shown in the fig.

    z P = 220.00N

    2m
    P P y
    0
    3m

    4m
    x
    Solution.
    1. Solve for the components of the forces

    13 3m
    cos𝜃 = = 0.8321
    𝜃 2m 13
    3m 2m
    sin𝜃 = = 0.5547
    13
    220.00N Pz
    𝜃 Px = P cos𝜃 = 183.05N
    Pz = P sin𝜃 = 122.03N
    Px 220

    2.Apply the definition of the moment to solve for the moment about x,y,z axes.

    z,y plane x,y plane

    z 122.03N 183.05N 183.05N

    y y

    4m
    4m x
    122.03N

    Mx = 122.03(4) = 488.14N.m

    Mz = 183.05(4) = 732.20N.m

    x,z plane

    z z

    122.03N 3m

    x
    183.05N 183.05N

    3m
    122.03N

    My = 122.03(3) -122.03(3) = 0.00N.m
