Vector Ex Problem Operation-of-Forces

A 100N force acts along the line between points (2,0,4) and (5,1,1). The moments of this force about the x, y, and z axes are: Mx = 91.77 N.m My = 412.95 N.m Mz = 45.9 N.m

Problem 1

The 100N force is directed along the line drawn from the point whose x,y,z coordinates are (2,0,4) and Passes through point (5,1,1)
What are the Moment of these force about x,y, and z axes
x1 = 2m x2 = 5m
y1 = 0m y2 = 1m
z1 = 4m z2= 1m

P= 100.00N

Solution
Let ϴx The angle between the diagonal point 1 to point 2 and x axis
ϴy The angle between the diagonal point 1 to point 2 and y Axis
ϴz The angle between the diagonal point 1 to point 2 and z Axis

1. Determine the distance between two points


x= 3m
y= 1m
z= -3m

d= Sqrt[ (3^2) + (1^2) + (-3^2) ]= 4.359m

2. Solve the components of P

3m
Cos ϴx = 0.688i
4.359m
1m
Cos ϴy = 0.229j
4.359m
-3m
Cos ϴz = -0.688k
4.359m

Fx = 100 N Cosϴx = 68.82N


Fy = 100 N Cosϴy = 22.94N
Fz = 100 N Cosϴz = -68.82N

3. Dtermine the moment of forces about x,y and z axes

Mx = Fy(4) = 22.95(4) = 91.77N.m y,z


My = Fz(2) +Fx(4) = 68.82(2) +68.82(4) = 412.95N.m x, z
Mz = Fy(2) = 22.95(2) = x,y
