    This document provides an overview of moment about an axis in engineering mechanics statics. It will discuss: 1) Applications of moment about an axis, such as determining the portion of moment used to turn a socket. 2) Scalar analysis to calculate moment as the perpendicular distance from the axis to the force line of action multiplied by the force magnitude. 3) Vector analysis using the cross product and dot product to find the component of the moment vector along the axis. An example calculates the moment of a force about the z-axis of a valve.

    MOMENT ABOUT AN AXIS (Section 4.5)
    Today’s Objectives:
    Students will be able to determine the moment of a
    force about an axis using
    a) scalar analysis, and
    b) vector analysis.

    Learning Topic:
    • Applications
    • Scalar analysis
    • Vector analysis 4
    APPLICATIONS

    With the force F, a person is The force F is creating the


    creating the moment MA. moment MO. How much of
    What portion of MA is used in MO acts to unscrew the
    turning the socket? pipe?
    5
    SCALAR ANALYSIS
    Recall that the moment of a force about any point A is MA= F dA
    where dA is the perpendicular (or shortest) distance from the point
    to the force’s line of action. This concept can be extended to find
    the moment of a force about an axis.

    In the figure above, the moment about the y-axis would


    be My= 20 (0.3) = 6 N·m. However this calculation is not
    always trivial and vector analysis may be preferable. 6
    VECTOR ANALYSIS

    Our goal is to find the moment of F


    (the tendency to rotate the body)
    about the axis a’-a.

    First compute the moment of F about any arbitrary point O


    that lies on the a’a axis using the cross product.
    MO = r  F
    Now, find the component of MO along the axis a’-a using the
    dot product.
    Ma = u a • MO
    7
    VECTOR ANALYSIS (continued)

    Ma can also be obtained as

    The above equation is also called the


    triple scalar product.

    In the this equation,


    ua represents the unit vector along the axis a’-a axis,
    r is the position vector from any point on the a’-a axis to any
    point A on the line of action of the force, and
    F is the force vector.
    8
    EXAMPLE
    Given: A force is applied to
    the tool to open a gas valve.
    Find: The magnitude of the
    B
    moment of this force about
    A the z axis of the value.

    Plan:
    1) We need to use Mz = u • (r  F).
    2) Note that u = 1 k.
    3) The vector r is the position vector from A to B.
    4) Force F is already given in Cartesian vector form. 9
    EXAMPLE (continued)

    u = 1k
    rAB = {0.25sin30°i + 0.25cos30°j + 0.4k}m
    = {0.125 i + 0.2165 j + 0.4k} m
    F = {-60 i + 20 j + 15 k} N
    Mz = u • (rAB  F)
    0 0 1
    Mz = 0.125 0.2165 0.4
     60 20 15

    = 1{0.125(20) – 0.2165(-60)} N·m


    = 15.5 N·m
