4 | Moments

At the end of this section you should be able to:

Moments in 2D

Hibbeler 12e F4.2: Finding moment about point due to single force. Force is broken into components to calculate contribution to moment.

Hibbeler 12e 4.5: Finding unknown force given net moment about point is zero

Hibbeler 12e 4.16: Finding unknown force given net moment about point is zero

Hibbeler 12e 4.17: Finding net moment acting on rigid body due to two applied forces

Moments in 3D

Hibbeler 13e F4.29 Finding moment about origin due to two 3D forces acting on rigid body

Finding moment about origin due to single 3D force acting on rigid body

Hibbeler 12e 4.39: Finding moment about origin due to two forces located at same point

Hibbeler 12e 4.42: Finding moment about origin due to two forces at same point. Here, forces must first be written in component form before we can use cross product.

Moment about Axis

Hibbeler 13e 4.59: Finding required force to produce specified magnitude of moment about an axis

Hibbeler 12e F4.14: Finding moment about oblique axis due to single force

Hibbeler 12e 4.56: Finding moment about oblique axis due to single force

Couples and Applied Moments

Hibbeler 12e F4.19: Find couple acting on 2D beam due to paired forces

Hibbeler 12e 4.94: Find couple acting on 3D object due to paired forces

Hibbeler 12e 4.73: Find net couple acting on 3D object due to multiple 3D moments

Equivalent Systems

Hibbeler 12e F4.25: Finding one force and one couple at specified point to create equivalent system

Hibbeler 12e F4.108: Finding one force and couple at specified point to create equivalent system

Hibbeler 12e F4.32: Finding one force along specified axis to create equivalent system
