Calculate the moment of a force about three points using the definition of a Moment. All forces and points are in the same plane.

", "licence": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International"}, "statement": "

Force $\\mathbf{F}$, which has a magnitude of {F}, acts along a line passing through points $D$ and $D'$. The grid units are in [{units[0]}] and counter-clockwise moments are positive. Determine the moment of the force about points $A$, and $B$ using the definition of the moment:

", "advice": "

Step a) walks you through the procedure to find a moment using the definition of the moment.

An alternate approach is to use Verignon's Theorem

Verigon's theorem says that the moment of a force is the sum of the moments of its components.

$ M = \\pm F_x d_y \\pm F_y d_x$

Procedure:

Decompose force F into its x- and y-components.
Determine the horizontal and vertical distances from the moment center to a point on the line of action of F. In this problem:\n
1. $d_x$ is the horizontal distance from D (or D') to A, B, or C.
2. $d_y$ is the vertical distance from D (or D') to A, B, or C.
\n
The moments of the components are $F_x d_y$ and $F_y d_x$.
The signs of these moments are determined by inspection: positive if counter-clockwise, negative if clockwise.
The total moment is the sum of the component moments.

A value with units marked right if within an adjustable % error of the correct value. Marked close if within a wider margin of error.

Modify the unit portion of the student's answer by

1. replacing \"ohms\" with \"ohm\" case insensitive

2. replacing '-' with ' '

3. replacing '°' with ' deg'

This fixes the student answer for two common errors.

Verignon's Theorem: $M = \\pm F_x\\ d_y \\pm F_y\\ d_x$

Verigon's theorem says that the moment of a force is the sum of the moments of its components.

Procedure:

Decompose force $\\mathbf{F}$ into its $x$- and $y$-components.
Determine the horizontal and vertical distances from the moment center to a point on the line of action of $\\mathbf{F}$. In this problem:\n
1. $d_x$ is the horizontal distance from $D$ or $D'$ to point $A$ or $B$.
2. $d_y$ is the vertical distance from $D$ or $D'$ to $A$ or $B$.
\n
The moments of the components are $F_x\\ d_y$ and $F_y\\ d_x$.
The signs of these moments are determined by inspection: positive if counter-clockwise, negative if clockwise.
The total moment is the sum of the component moments.

Find the tension in a rope necessary to prevent a bracket from rotating by applying $\\Sigma M = 0$.

", "licence": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International"}, "statement": "

An L shaped bracket is supported by a frictionless pin at $A$ and a cable between points $B$ and $D$.

{applet}

Determine the tension in the cable required for equilibrium when a {F} force $\\mathbf{F}$ is applied to the bracket as shown.

", "advice": "

Since the object is in equilibrium $\\Sigma M_A = 0$ implies that the opposing moments must have equal magnitudes. This is the principle we use to solve the problem. At the start we know the magnitude of $\\mathbf{F}$ and the geometry of the system.

1. Begin by drawing a sketch, defining your symbols and determining geometric values.

Let $\\alpha$ be the angle force $\\mathbf{F}$ makes with the horizontal and $\\beta$ be the angle the cable makes with the horizontal.

$\\alpha = \\var{abs(alpha)}°$, $\\beta = \\var{siground(if(abs(beta)>90, 180-abs(beta), abs(beta)),4)}°$

Let $d_x$ and $d_y$ represent the horizontal and vertical distances from $A$ to $B$.

$d_x = \\var{d_x}$, $d_y = \\var{d_y}$

2. Develop expressions for the moments about point $A$ caused by the force $\\mathbf{F}$ and the cable. The moment caused by the force can be found completely, but the moment caused by the cable tension can only be expressed as a function of the unknown tension $T$.

$M_F = F_y \\cdot d_x = F \\sin \\alpha \\cdot d_x $

$M_T = T_x \\cdot d_y \\pm T_y \\cdot d_x = (T \\cos \\beta) \\, d_y \\pm (T \\sin \\beta) \\, d_x = T (\\var{scalar(d_y)} \\cos \\beta \\pm \\var{scalar(d_x)} \\sin \\beta) $

When calculating the moment due to the cable $M_T$, if the two component moments act in the same direction, add the terms. If they twist in opposite directions, take their difference. Either way, make the final result positive, because we're comparing magnitudes.

3. After substituting the known values and simplifying, equate the moments to get:

$M_T = M_F$

$ T (\\var{format(d_perp_t)}) = \\var{format(M_F)} $

$T = \\dfrac{\\var{format(M_F)}}{\\var{format(d_perp_t)}}= \\var{format(T)} $

$d_\\perp = M_D / D = \\dfrac{ \\var{siground(-M D_units F_units,4)}}{\\var{F F_units}} = \\var{siground(dperp,4) D_units}$

$\\alpha =\\sin^{-1}\\left( \\dfrac{d_\\perp}{d}\\right)=\\var{precround(alpha1,1)}°$

Since $\\sin \\alpha = \\sin (180°-\\alpha)$ another possible angle is:

$\\alpha' = (180° - \\var{precround(alpha1,1)}) = \\var{precround(alpha2,1)}°$

Finally the angle from the positive $x$ axis to force $D$ can be determined. There are two possible solutions:

$\\theta =180° - \\alpha - \\phi = \\var{precround(-theta1,1)}° $ or
$\\theta = 180 - \\alpha' - \\phi = \\var{precround(-theta2,1)}$

Note: You can use the red slider on the diagram to switch between the two possible solutions.

Find the moment of a couple formed by two equal and opposite forces.

{applet}

{setAxisVisible(applet,false)}

Determine the moment of the couple formed by the two {F} {units[1]} forces shown. Grid units are in [{units[0]}].

", "advice": "

The moment of a couple is found by multiplying the magnitude of force by the perpendicular distance between the lines of action of the two forces. The direction is determined by inspection. You will need to determine the perpendicular distance using the known locations of the two points, the direction of the force, geometry and trigonometry as we have done before.

$ M = F \\cdot d_\\perp$

$ M = (\\var{F}\\, \\var{units[1]} ) (\\var{abs(siground(moment/F,4))}\\, \\var{units[0]} ) = \\var{siground(abs(answer),4)}$ {if(moment >0,'Counterclockwise','Clockwise')}

Alternately, you get the same result by finding the moment of one force about a point on the line of action of the other one.

So, for example, take the moment of the force at $A$ about point $B$ using Verignon's Theorem. The signs in the equation below are determined by the direction of the component moments, using the sign convention that counterclockwise moments are positive. The sign of the resulting moment indicates its direction and it should agree with your expectations from inspection of the diagram.

Determine angle $\\alpha$ knowing that the triangular plate is in equilbrium when subjected to the three couples shown.

", "advice": "

The triangular plate is in equlibrium, so the three couple moments add to zero. Note that the length of side $d$ the triangle is not significant, only the angle $\\alpha$.

\\[\\begin{align} \\Sigma M &=0\\\\M_1 + M_2 + M_3 &= 0\\\\ \\require{cancel} (\\var{F_1} \\cancel{d} \\cos \\alpha) + (\\var {F_2} \\cancel{d} \\sin \\alpha) + (\\var{show(F_3)}\\cancel{d} )&= 0\\\\ \\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{F_1} cos(alpha)+ {F_2} sin(alpha)} &= \\simplify{ - {show(F_3)}} \\\\ \\alpha &= \\var{alpha}°\\end{align}\\]

This equation has only one unknown, and it can be solved algebraically for $\\alpha$, although it is not simple. For the method, see this example.

An easier way is simply to plot the equation: $y = \\simplify[all,!collectNumbers]{{F_1} cos(alpha)+ {F_2} sin(alpha) + {show(F_3)}} $; the first positive root is the answer. A guess-and-check solution may also be used.

1. Replace forces $A$ and $D$ with a single equivalent force $\\mathbf{B} = \\mathbf{A} + \\mathbf{D}$ acting at point $B$.

This force will have the same translational effect as the original systems, therefore:

$B_x = A_x + D_x = + \\var{A} \\cos \\var{abs(theta)}° + 0 = \\var{ea(B[0])}$ {units}

$B_y = A_y + D_y =\\var{latex( if(theta >=0, \"+\", \"-\"))} \\var{A} \\sin \\var{abs(theta)}° - D = \\var{ea(B[1])}$ {units}

$B = \\sqrt{B_x^2 + B_y^2} = \\var{ea(abs(B))}$ {units}

$\\beta =\\tan^{-1}\\left( \\left \\vert\\frac{ \\var{ea(B[1])}} {\\var{ea(B[0])}}\\right \\vert \\right) = \\var{ea(abs(beta))}° $

2. Force $\\mathbf{B}$ acting at point $B$ produces no moment about that point, so a concentrated moment $\\mathbf{M}$ must be included to maintain equivalence.

The magnitude and direction of this moment is equal to the moment produced by the original forces $A$ and $D$ about point $B$.

A value with units marked right if within an adjustable % error of the correct value. Marked close if within a wider margin of error.

Modify the unit portion of the student's answer by

1. replacing \"ohms\" with \"ohm\" case insensitive

2. replacing '-' with ' '

3. replacing '°' with ' deg'

to allow answers like 10 ft-lb and 30°

This fixes the student answer for two common errors.

If student_units are wrong - replace with correct units

If student_scalar has the wrong sign - replace with right sign

If student makes both errors, only one gets fixed.

Only marked close if the student actually has the right sign.
