Question 1
If the moment produced by the 4-kN force about point A is 10kN.m clockwise, determine the
angle Ɵ, where 0° ≤Ɵ ≤ 90°.

Question 2
The member is subjected to a force of F = 6kN . If Ɵ = 45˚,

(a) Determine the moment produced by F about point A.

(b) Determine the angle Ɵ (0° ≤ Ɵ ≤ 180°) of the force F so that it produces a maximum
moment and a minimum moment about point A. Also, what are the magnitudes of
these maximum and minimum moments?
Question 3
Determine the direction Ɵ for (0° ≤ Ɵ ≤ 180°) of the force F so that it produces the maximum
moment about point A. Calculate this moment.

Question 4
The wheelbarrow and its contents have a mass of 50 kg and a center of mass at G. If the
resultant moment produced by force F and the weight about point A is to be zero, determine
the required magnitude of force F.
Question 5
Determine the moment produced by F1 about point O. Express the result as a Cartesian
vector.

Question 6
Determine the moment produced by force FC about point O. Express the result as a Cartesian
vector.
Question 6
The pipe assembly is subjected to the 80-N force. Determine the moment of this force about
point A.

Question 7
Figure below shows Force F acts at the end of the angle bracket. Determine the moment of
the force about point O.
