PLATE NO. 2: MOMENT OF A FORCE

1. A force F passing through C causes a clockwise moment
of 20kN.m about A and a clockwise moment of 12kN.m
about B. Determine the force and its X intercept ix. see fig G
2. Two forces P and Q pass through point A which is 1.20m to
the right and 0.90m above a moment center O. Force P is
10kN directed up to the right at 30° with the horizontal and
the force Q is 5kN directed up tot the left at 60° with the
horizontal. Determine the moment of the resultant of these
two forces with respect to O.
3. In the fig H given, find the y coordinate of point A so that
18kN force will have a clockwise moment of 6kN-m about O.
Also determine the X and Y intercepts of the action line of
force.

4. Determine the resultant moment

of the four forces acting on the
rod shown in Fig. I about point O
.
5. Determine the moment of the
force shown in Fig. J about point
O.
