SUGGESTED EXERCISES

1. Determine the moment of the force F about point O. The force has coordinate
direction angles of α = 60°, β = 120°, ϒ = 45°.

2. Replace the force F having a value of 50 lb and acting at point A by an equivalent

force and couple momento at point C.
3. A twist of 4 Nm is applied to the handle of the screwdriver. Resolve this couple
moment into a pair of couple forces F exerted on the handle and P exerted on the
blade.

4. The ends of the triangular plate are subjected to three couples. Determine the plate
dimension d so that the resultant couple is 350 N m clockwise.
