CROSS PRODUCT
C = AB sinθ
Direction
• Vector C has a direction that is perpendicular to the
plane containing A and B such that C is specified by
the right hand rule
• Expressing vector C when
magnitude and direction are known
C = A X B = (AB sinθ)uC
Laws of Operations
1. Commutative law is not valid
AXB≠BXA
Rather,
AXB=-BXA
• Cross product A X B yields a
vector opposite in direction to C
B X A = -C
Laws of Operations
2. Multiplication by a Scalar
a( A X B ) = (aA) X B = A X (aB) = ( A X B )a
3. Distributive Law
AX(B+D)=(AXB)+(AXD)
• Proper order of the cross product must be maintained
since they are not commutative
i j k
A B Ax Ay Az
Bx By Bz
Magnitude
• For magnitude of cross product,
MO = rF sinθ
• Treat r as a sliding vector.
Since d = r sinθ,
MO = rF sinθ = F (rsinθ) = Fd
Direction
• Direction and sense of MO
are determined by right-
hand rule
*Note:
- “curl” of the fingers
indicates the sense of
rotation
- Maintain proper order of r
and F since cross product is
not commutative
Principle of Transmissibility
• For force F applied at any point A, moment created
about O is MO = rA F
• F has the properties of a
sliding vector, thus
MO = r1 F = r2 F = r3 F
MO = (ryFz – rzFy)i
– (rxFz - rzFx)j + (rxFy – yFx)k
Resultant Moment of a
System of Forces
• Resultant moment of
forces about point O can
be determined by vector
addition
MRo = ∑(r x F)

MOMENT OF A FORCE ABOUT A
SPECIFIED AXIS
• For moment of a force about a point, the moment and
its axis is always perpendicular to the plane
• A scalar or vector analysis is used to find the
component of the moment along a specified axis that
passes through the point
Scalar Analysis
• According to the right-hand rule,
My is directed along the
positive y axis
• For any axis, the moment is
M a Fd a
Vector Analysis
• For magnitude of MA,
MA = MOcosθ = MO·ua
where ua = unit vector
• In determinant form,
uax uay uaz
M a uax ( r XF ) rx ry rz

MOMENT OF A COUPLE
• Couple
– two parallel forces
– same magnitude but opposite direction
– separated by perpendicular distance d
• Resultant force = 0
• Tendency to rotate in specified direction
• Couple moment = sum of moments of both couple
forces about any arbitrary point
Scalar Formulation
• Magnitude of couple moment
M = Fd
• Direction and sense are
determined by right hand rule
• M acts perpendicular to
plane containing the forces
Vector Formulation
• For couple moment,
M=rXF
• If moments are taken about point A, moment of –F is
zero about this point
• r is crossed with the force to which it is directed
Equivalent Couples
• 2 couples are equivalent if they produce the same
moment
• Forces of equal couples lie on the same plane or plane
parallel to one another

SIMPLIFICATION OF A FORCE AND
COUPLE SYSTEM
• An equivalent system is when the external effects are
the same as those caused by the original force and
couple moment system
• External effects of a system is the translating and
rotating motion of the body
• Or refers to the reactive forces at the supports if the
body is held fixed
