Moment of force Definition and 31 Threads

In the picture you can see what I'm talking about. This is a simple problem to do if you can use moments, but alas my education system seems to have something against those. ##AB## is the uniform rod/ladder, G is its centre of mass, BE is the horizontal x axis, AD is the wall, BD is the smooth...

When a ball is thrown upward it becomes at rest at maximum height, at this it is not in equilibrium although it is at rest. It is not at equilibrium because force of gravity is acting on it? Still I cannot find good explanation from exam point of view.I also cannot find the figure/diagram.

Given, ##2A_P = A_Q## (cross-sections) ... (1) and, ##Y_P = 2Y_Q## ... (2) We have ##\frac {Y_P * x}{\Delta L} = \frac{Y_Q (L-x)}{\Delta L}## Using (2) in the above expression we get ##x = L/3## whereas the correct answer is ##x = 2L/3## I feel my initial idea is flawed, and that I am...

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...

Hey, everyone, I have a question regarding quadcopters, when the set of the arms is of configuration X, to roll we increase the velocity of the two motors on the left/right and decrease the other motors on right/left, the question is when doing so the total angular velocity is zero that means...

Homework Statement Calculating the moment of force F about the axis isn't hard; how do I determine how to produce the maximum moment? Homework Equations Maxis = ûaxis ⋅ (r×F) F = 30N (This doesn't change at all during the problem) The Attempt at a Solution I would guess that since the...

1) Problem: An individual holds a ball of mass 3 kg in his hand in static equilibrium. The biceps brachii attaches a distance of 2 cm from the centre of rotation of the elbow joint, and the muscle's line of action is directed at an angle of 115° counter clockwise from the forearm. The forearm...

Why the torque is called moment of force and angular momentum is called moment of linear momentum ? Please explain.

I just don't know where did the numbers 5,4, and 3 came from. please explain. I'am asked to do this assuming clockwise moments as positive, compute the moment of force F = 200 kg and force P = 165 kg about points A, B, C, and D. the solution picture is here

Homework Statement The moment of force Fa about point O Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I know how to setup with breaking the force into x,y component but how to tell if its rotating cw or ccw about the point. I think y is ccw but i can't tell on x. I think i...

By the end of the day, I must admit that the rotational analog of Newtons 2nd law: Τ = I*α contradicts my intuition. Suppose that you take a part of a body in the radius r from the rotational axis and exert a force on that. It will then get a linear acceleration. We can then find the angular...

Question in moment of force http://www.roo7oman.com/up/files/357062.jpg I find moment of Q correct but moment of p is not correct pleses I want your help

Are the 'moment of a force' and the 'moment of a couple' are technically same or different? Because, the latter is called by a special term 'torque'. Both terms are confusing, as the first is measured by the product of the force and its perpendicular distance from the fulcrum where as the...
