Problem 227
Two forces P and Q pass through a point A which is 4 m to the right of and 3 m above a moment center O. Force P is 890 N directed up to
the right at 30° with the horizontal and force Q is 445 N directed up to the left at 60° with the horizontal. Determine the moment of the
resultant of these two forces with respect to O.

Rx = Px − Qx
∘ ∘
Rx = 890 cos 30 − 445 cos 60
Ry = Py + Qy
∘ ∘
Ry = 890 sin 30 + 445 sin 60
Ry = 830.38 N (upward)
MO = 4Ry − 3Rx
MO = 4(830.38) − 3(548.26)
The moment of resultant about O can be solved actually without the use of Rx and Ry. The moment effect of the components of R is the
same as the combined moment effect of the components P and Q. Thus, M = 4P + 4Q + 3Q − 3P . Try it.
O y y x x
You can also find Mo by finding the magnitude of R and its moment arm about point O. Moment arm is the perpendicular distance
between the line of action of R and point O.
