would it be like M = r x F where r= displacement vector from A to 0?SteamKing said:
i tried but i must be making a mistakeSteamKing said:
So when using M = rF, the vector r is always measured from the point of moment to the to the head of the vector. so the would look like to vectors with the heads pointing toward each other? And what about M = Fd? the distance line should always travel to the head of the vector? unless you negate the vector then the tail is ok?SteamKing said:
To calculate the combined moment for 70lb forces, you will need to first determine the distance between each force and the reference point. Then, multiply the force by its distance and add all of the moments together. This will give you the combined moment for the 70lb forces.
Yes, the formula for calculating combined moment can be used for any number of forces. Just make sure to include the distance from each force to the reference point and add all of the moments together.
Combined moment is typically measured in pound-feet (lb-ft) or Newton-meters (N-m). However, it's important to check the specific units required for your calculation to ensure accuracy.
Combined moment is the sum of all individual moments acting on a body, while individual moments only consider one force at a time. Combined moment takes into account the overall rotational effect of multiple forces on a body.
The concept of combined moment is used in many real-life applications, such as structural engineering, mechanical design, and even sports. It helps determine the stability and strength of structures and objects by analyzing the combined effect of multiple forces acting on them.
