Question

The force F = {600i + 300j - 660k} N, acts as shown.


a) Determine moment about this force about point A, using the vector approach.

b) Determine moment about this force about point A, using the scalar approach.

c) Determine moment of this force about point O, using the vector approach.

d) Determine moment of this force about point O, using the scalar approach.


I know the answer to a but I'm confused on the two ways to work out the problem.

Explanation / Answer

Ma=FxR


== {600i + 300j - 660k} X {1.2j}

== {720k+792i}

== sqrt(720^2 + 792^2)

== 1070.35Nm


Mo = FxR


=={600i + 300j - 660k} X {1.2j+0.4k}

== {720k+792i-240j+120i}

== {912i-240j+720k} Nm

== 1186.48 Nm
