Answer:
x = -1.20 m
y = -1.12 m
Explanation:
as we know that four masses and their position is given as
5.0 kg (0, 0)
2.9 kg (0, 3.2)
4 kg (2.5, 0)
8.3 kg (x, y)
As we know that the formula of center of gravity is given as
Similarly for y direction we have
Answer:
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
Explanation:
Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e
M₀ = r x F
From the question,
r = i + j + k
F = 1i + 0j + 5k
Therefore,
M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j + 5k)
M₀ =
M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)
M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is
M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
