Question

Replace the loading system by an equivalent resultant force and couple moment acting at point O. Assume F1= 150N , F2= 210N and Mc= 85N?m .
                    Part A)
                    Determine the resultant force. Enter the x, y and z components of the resultant force separated by commas.
                    
                    Part B)
                    

Replace the loading system by an equivalent resultant force and couple moment acting at point O. Assume F1= 150N , F2= 210N and Mc= 85N?m . Part A) Determine the resultant force. Enter the x, y and z components of the resultant force separated by commas.

Explanation / Answer

Please note that F_R, F1, F2, M_O, Mc are vectors in the following.

F1 = (0,-150,0) N

F2 = 210(-4/5,0,-3/5) = (-168, 0, -126) N

(A)

F_R = F1+F2 = (0,-150,0) + (-168, 0, -126)=(-168, -150,-126) N


(B)

M_O = r1 x F1 + r2 x F2 + Mc

= (0,0,0.3) x (0,-150,0) + (0,0.5,0.3) x (-168, 0, -126) + 85(-1,0,0)

=(45,0,0) + (-63,-50.4, 84) + (-85,0,0)

=(-103,-50.4,84) N.m
