A force T acts within the cable connecting points C and D as shown in the figure

Question

A force T acts within the cable connecting points C and D as shown in the figure below. This force T has a magnitude of 1.2 kN (1200 N).

1. Write the force T in terms of the i, j, and k unit vectors. (Cartesian vector).

2. Calculate the moment vector created by this force at point A and write this moment as a Cartesian vector.

A force T acts within the cable connecting points C and D as shown in the figure below. This force T has a magnitude of 1.2 kN (1200 N). Write the force T in terms of the i, j, and k unit vectors. (Cartesian vector). Calculate the moment vector created by this force at point A and write this moment as a Cartesian vector.

Explanation / Answer

T= 1.2 (1.5,3,-3.5) /5.61 = (.32,.64,-.962)

Moment at A = RxF = (-1.5,0,1.5) x (.32,.64,-.962) = (-0.96,-0.963,-0.96)
