Answer:
Fx1 (6 m) sin 60 = 300 (3 m) cos 60 balancing torques about floor
Fx1 = 900 * 1/2 / 5.20 = 86.6 N this is the horizontal force that must be supplied by the wall to balance torques about the floor
This is also equal to the static force of friction that must be applied at the point of contact with the floor to balance forces in the x-direction.
Fx1 = Fx2 = 86.6 N
Answer:
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
Explanation:
Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e
M₀ = r x F
From the question,
r = i + j + k
F = 1i + 0j + 5k
Therefore,
M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j + 5k)
M₀ =
M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)
M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
