Moment of a force about a point or axis ameasure of the tendency of the force tocause a body to rotate about the point or axisCase 1Consider horizontal force Fx,which acts perpendicular to
the handle of the wrench andis located d y from the point O
8/10/2019 Ch 4 Force System Resultant

Fx tends to turn the pipe about the z axisThe larger the force or the distance d y , the greater theturning effect

Moment axis (z) is perpendicular to shadedplane (x-y)Fx and d y lies on the shaded plane (x-y)
Moment axis (z) intersectsthe plane at point O

Case 2Apply force Fz to the wrench
Pipe does not rotate about z axis
Tendency to rotate about x axisThe pipe may not actuallyrotate Fz creates tendencyfor rotation so moment(Mo) x is produced

In GeneralConsider the force F and the point O which lies inthe shaded planeThe moment MO about point O,or about an axis passingthrough O and perpendicular
to the plane, is a vector quantityMoment MO has its specifiedmagnitude and direction
8/10/2019 Ch 4 Force System Resultant

MagnitudeFor magnitude of MO,
MO = Fd where d = moment arm or perpendicular distancefrom the axis at point O to its line of action of theforce

Moment of a force does not always cause rotationForce F tends to rotate the beam clockwise about Awith moment
MA = Fd AForce F tends to rotate the beam counterclockwiseabout B with moment

- find the location of the resultant force about apoint- equate the moment of the resultant force aboutthe point to moment of the forces and couples in
