The force has u magnitude of 800 N and coordinate direction
The force has u magnitude of 800 N and coordinate direction angles of alpha = 60 degree, beta = 120 degree, gamma = 45 degree. For the following, assume that a positive moment is in the positive coordinate direction (e.g. positive x direction). Express the force as a Cartesian vector. Use scalar techniques to calculate the moment of F about the y-axis. Use vector techniques to calculate the moment of F about point O. Use vector techniques to calculate the moment of F about the axis from point O to point A.
Solution
Force in vector form.
Moment about the point O.
Moment about the point O for force at A.
