In this lesson, we will learn how to identify the conditions for a system of coplanar forces to be equivalent to a couple and find its moment.
Q1:
π΄ π΅ πΆ π· is a rectangle in which π΄ π΅ = 1 2 c m , π΅ πΆ = 6 c m and π is midpoint of π΄ π΅ . Forces of magnitudes 7 N, 2 N, 6 N, 18 N, 3 β 5 N, and 1 0 β 2 N are acting along οͺ πΆ π΅ , ο« π΄ π΅ , ο« π· π΄ , ο« πΆ π· , ο« π΄ πΆ , and ο« π πΆ respectively. If this system of forces is equivalent to a couple, find the norm of its moment.
Q2:
The sides of an equilateral triangle π΄ π΅ πΆ , taken the same way round, completely represent three forces with a drawing scale of 4 cm to 8 N. If the length of a side of the triangle is 24 cm, find the magnitude of the resulting couple, giving an exact answer in Nβ cm.
Q3:
π΄ π΅ is a rod having a length of 105 cm and negligible weight. Forces of magnitudes 214 N, 67 N, 115 N, and 176 N are acting on the rod as shown in the figure. Given that πΆ and π· are the points of trisection of π΄ π΅ , determine the algebraic sum of the moments of these forces about the point π΄ .
