[QUOTE="Marvels, post: 5798352, member: 571773"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] In two dimensions, the moment of a force can be calculated using the scalar method, MO=Fd, where F is the magnitude of the force and d is the perpendicular distance from the line of force to the point where the moment is being considered. Using the scalar method, calculate the moment about [I]O[/I] due to F. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] [ATTACH=full]206674[/ATTACH] [/B] r = 2.50 ft and F has magnitude F = 580 lb.[h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I've calculated the x and y components of the force, each being 410 lb, due to the angle being 45 Also using the angles I calculated the x and y distances being 1.77 and then 1.77 + 2.5? I do the f*d multiplied and added up for 1.77*410*2 and it's wrong I then divided that by 2, and it was wrong. I then did the (2.55+1.77*410)+(1.77*410) and it says that's wrong too. What am I doing wrong? [/QUOTE]
