Calculating Moments about a point with couples.

[go4john]

Is there someone who can provide me with a link that clearly states the best way to tackle these problems? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

You mean in statics? This document seems to explain well the use of vectors to solve couples and a few other things in 3 dimensions (and can be generalized to two dimensions at once). (http://pioneer.netserv.chula.ac.th/...atics ch2_present_4(3D moment and couple).pdf)

There are many online resources that can provide a clear explanation and examples of how to calculate moments about a point with couples. One helpful link is the Khan Academy, which has a video tutorial specifically on this topic: https://www.khanacademy.org/science...ntum/torque-tutorial/v/torque-and-equilibrium. Another useful resource is the Engineering Toolbox, which provides step-by-step calculations and diagrams for solving moment problems with couples: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/moment-of-couples-d_1328.html. I hope these resources will help you better understand and tackle these types of problems. Best of luck!
