Moment arm Definition and 13 Threads

The question is to determine the force in the small opening, delivered from the 250 N on both sides of the plier. i tried multiple things but can't get the answer right. Anyone that could help me? This is my work so far:

1. Having really hard time understanding the concept of moment and equilibrium in statics. In the following picture the man is carrying a 6kg uniform rigid board. I'm asked to calculate the amount of force the man feels on his shoulder. (at point A) Now I know I'm supposed to start by making...

Homework Statement Two uniform 150 N rafters rest on frictionless floor, held together by a rope. A 500 N load is held at their apex. Find tension in the tie rope. Homework Equations ##torque= rFsin \theta =Force*Moment Arm ## The Attempt at a Solution The angle ##\theta## in the picture...

Homework Statement I'm trying to determine the torque vector and quantity of said vector per the sketch attached. Homework Equations T=fd[/B] The Attempt at a Solution T = 100 lbs x 2 f2f T= 200 ftlbs But my real question is where is that Force being applied at is it the attachment point...

Let's say I'm riding a bike at constant speed. Also assume that the person riding is rigid, no moving of the persons body, constant center of gravity. Assuming that there is sufficient friction between the tires and road. If I apply the front brakes, I will likely tip over. If I apply the...

If you are using a wheelbarrow, the materials in it should be placed to as close as the fulcrum (the wheel) as possible. This is because the load torque of the materials will decrease, and the effort force required to support the wheel barrow will decrease as well, because Torque = Fr. Is this...

Not only the Problem I have attached in Picture, but there are few more where I get different answer while solving by taking Moment Component and by Common Perpendicular. [NB : The problem Stated in 'Engineering Mechanics' by Ferdinand L. Singer. Process 3 is what I did, Process 1 is what is...

Homework Statement [A rocket has landed on Planet X, which has half the radius of Earth. An astronaut onboard the rocket weighs twice as much on Planet X as on Earth. If the escape velocity for the rocket taking off from Earth is v , then its escape velocity on Planet X is a) 2 v b) (√2)v c) v...

Homework Statement Homework Equations ΣM=Στ The Attempt at a Solution I know how to get the net torque about point P, but I am having difficulty determining where the moment arms for each force should be. I did 9 simpler questions before this no problem, but this diagram is a bit more...

Hi A rod comprises a counterweight (a) a handle and a hook which hangs mass (m), the rods mass is 400g counterweight mass (a) = 1600g and the rod is 0.8m long. Equilibrium exists when the handle is at position X = 12.0cm How I did 1: calculated the length of the handle to (m) which was...

Homework Statement Find angular acceleration in deg/sec^2 given the following factors: - Total mass: 4889 kg - Moment of inertia: 4620 kg*m^2 - Moment arm length from center of mass: 1.5 meters - Force on moment arm tangent to mass: 1779 Newtons Homework Equations torque = force...

So here's the problem: Bodybuilder “Hulk” Heise is doing leg curls on a Cybex machine. “Hulk” gets stuck (see figure) with 90° angle at the knee joint. The force exerted by the machines (FA) on his leg is 500 N, directed at an angle of 55° (angle α) relative to the tibia, and the distance...
