It is known that the connecting rod AB exerts on the crank BCa 2.5-kN force directed down andto the left along the centerline of
AB. Determine the moment of this force about C for the two casesshown.
1 answer:
Answer:
M_c = 61.6 Nm
Explanation:
Given:
F_a = 2.5 KN
Find:
Determine the moment of this force about C for the two casesshown.
Solution:
- Draw horizontal and vertical vectors at point A.
- Take moments about point C as follows:
M_c = F_a*( 42 / 150 ) *88
M_c = 2.5*( 42 / 150 ) *88
M_c = 61.6 Nm
- We see that the vertical component of force at point A passes through C.
Hence, its moment about C is zero.
