Resultant of Three Forces and a Moment?

AI Thread Summary
To find the resultant force of three forces (Fx, Fy, Fz) and a moment (Mx), it is essential to sum the forces and moments separately. The proposed formula for the magnitude is only valid if the moment is excluded. For accurate results, one should calculate the resultant force using the formula sqrt(Fx^2 + Fy^2 + Fz^2) and the moment using sqrt(Mx^2). This approach ensures that both forces and moments are appropriately accounted for in the resultant calculations. Properly separating these components is crucial for accurate graphing of multiple resultants.

I'm looking to find the resultant force of three forces and a moment: Fx, Fy, Fz, and Mx. I intend to graph multiple resultants.

Would I just need to do the following to find the magnitude?

Sqrt(((Fx+Mx)^2)+Fy^2+Fz^2)




Thanks

You will need to sum the forces and moments separately.

Your expression is OK for the magnitude of the force --- if the moment is removed.

Sum them separately as in...

sqrt(Fx^2+Mx^2+Fy^2+Fz^2)
or
sqrt(Fx^2+Fy^2+Fz^2) and sqrt(Mx^2)?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
