INTRODUCTION CONTD.
The forces acting on rigid bodies can be internal or external. F1, F2 and F3
which are applied by an external force on the rigid body are called external forces.
P1 and P2 which are forces internal to
the rigid body are called internal forces.
![Page 4: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
INTRODUCTION CONCLUDED.
The external forces are completely responsible for the bulk motion of the rigid body.
As far as this bulk motion is concerned, the internal forces are in equilibrium.
![Page 5: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
3.2 PRINCIPLE OF TRANSMISSIVITY OF FORCES
External forces generally cause translation i.e. linear motion and/or rotation (motion about a pivot) of the rigid body.
![Page 6: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
PRINCIPLE OF TRANSMISSIVITY OF FORCES
Principle of transmissivity states that the condition of rest or motion of a rigid body is unaffected if a force, F acting on a point A is moved to act at a new point, B provided that the point B lies on the same line of action of that force.

3.3 CROSS OR VECTOR PRODUCT OF TWO VECTORS
The moment of a force will be formulated using Cartesian vectors in the next section.
It is necessary to first expand our knowledge of vector algebra and introduce the cross-product method of vector multiplication.
![Page 8: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cross Products of ForcesP and Q
The cross product of two vectors , P and Q yields the vector, V
which is written:
V = P x Q ( i.e V = P cross Q).
3.3.1 Magnitude: The magnitude of V is the product of the magnitudes
of P and Q and sine of the angle between their tails ( 0 < < 180o).
Thus : V = P Q Sin
![Page 9: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3.3.2 Direction
Vector, V has a direction that is perpendicular to the plane containing P and Q such that the direction of V is specified by the right hand rule i.e. curling the fingers of the right hand from vector P (cross) to vector Q, the thumb then points in the direction of V.
![Page 10: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Direction of Cross Product
The sense of V is such that a person located at the tip of V will observe as
counterclockwise the rotation through that brings the vector P in line with vector Q.
Knowing the magnitude and direction of V:
V = P x Q = (P Q sin ) v
Where: the scalar PQ sin defines the magnitude of V and the unit vector, v
defines the direction of V.
V = P x Q V
Q PQ sin = V
Q
P P

3.3.3. Laws of Operation
1. The cummutative law does not apply i.e. P x Q Q x P
Rather: P x Q = - Q x P 2. Multiplication by a scalar a ( P x Q) = (a P) x Q = P x ( a
Q) = ( P x Q ) a 3. The distributive law: P x (Q + S ) = ( P x Q ) + ( P x
S ) 4. The associative property does not apply
to vector products (P x Q ) x S P ( Q x S )
![Page 12: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cartesian (Rectangular) Vector
Formulation
y
j x
k = (i x j) i
z
To find i x j, the magnitude of the resultant is:
i x j = i . j . sin 90o = 1 x 1 x 1 = 1.
Using the right hand rule, the resultant vector points in the k direction.
Thus i x j = 1 k. But: j x i = - k since the 90o rotation that
brings j into i is observed as counterclockwise by a person located
at the tip of - k.
![Page 13: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cartesian Vector Formulation Contd.
Likewise: i x j = k i x k = - j i x i = 0 j
j x k = i j x i = - k j x j = 0 k i
k x i = j k x j = - i k x k = 0
Rules: If a circle is constructed as shown, then the vector product of two unit vectors in
a counterclockwise fashion around the circle yields the positive third unit vector eg.
k x i = j. Moving clockwise, a negative unit vector is obtained e.g. i x k = - j.

Cross Product of Two Vectors P and Q
Consider the cross product of two vectors P and Q expressed in
Cartesian vector form:
V = P x Q = ( Px i + Py j + Pz k) x ( Qx i + Qy j + Qz k)
= Px Qx (i x i) + Px Qy (i x j) + Px Q z ( i x k)
+ Py Qx ( j x i) + Py Qy (j x j) + Py Q z (j x k)
+ Pz Q x (k x i) + Pz Qy (k x j) + Pz Qz (k x k)
= ( Px Qy ) k + Px Qz (-j) + Py Qx (-k) + Py Qz (i) + Pz Qx (j) + Pz Qy (-i)
V = (Py Q z - Pz Qy) i + (Pz Qx - Px Qz) j + (Px Qy - Py Qx) k
![Page 15: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Equation For Product, V in Determinant Form
The equation for V may be written in a more compact determinant form as:
V = P x Q = i j k
Px Py Pz
Qx Qy Qz

3.4 MOMENT OF A FORCE ABOUT A POINT
The moment of a force about a point or axis provides a measure of the tendency of the force to cause a body to rotate about the point or axis.
![Page 17: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Moment of a Force About a Point Consider a force, F acting at point A
and a point O which lie on the same plane. The position of A is defined by the position vector, r, which joins the reference point O with A
![Page 18: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Moment of a Force About a Point
Moment (Mo) of F about O is defined as the vector product of r and F: i.e. Mo = r x F
![Page 19: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Direction of Mo
Using the right hand rule, the direction of Mo can be found. Curling the fingers of the right hand to follow the sense of rotation, the thumb points along the moment axis so the direction and sense of the moment vector is upward and perpendicular to the plane containing r and F.
![Page 20: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Finally, denoting by the angle between the lines of action of the position vector, r and
the force, F, the magnitude of the moment of F about O is:
Mo = r F sin = F d
Where: d is the perpendicular distance from O to the line of action of F.
In two dimensions:
F
F

Moment, M0 = + F d (Counter-clockwise , +ve) Moment, M0 = + F d clockwise , +ve)

3.5 VARIGNON’S THEOREM It states that the moment of a force about a point is equal
to the sum of the moments of its components about the same point.
Consider the Force, F with two components: F = F1 + F2.
Using the distributive law of vectors ( see section 3.3.3)
Mo = r x F1 + r x F2 = r x (F1 + F2) = r x F

Note
Cross or vector product has a distinct advantage over the scalar formulation when solving problems in three dimensions. This is because, it is easier to establish the position vector, r to the force rather than determine the moment-arm distance, d perpendicular to the line of the force.
For two dimensional problems, it is easier to use the Scalar Formulation

Moment of a Force About A Specified Axis
First, compute moment of force, F about any point O that lies
on the aa’ axis.
Moment of F about O, Mo = rA/O x F .................... (1)
Where rA/O = OA. Mo acts along the moment axis bb’ which is
perpendicular to the plane containing rA/O and F.
The component or projection of Mo onto the
aa’ axis is then represented by Ma.
The magnitude of Ma is given by the dot product:
Ma = Mo cos = Mo . a ....... (2)
Where a defines the direction of the aa’ axis.
Combining the two steps ie. Equations (1) and (2):
Ma = (rA/O x F) . a

Moment of a Force About A Specified Axis Concluded
Since dot product is commutative, Ma = a .( rA/O x F)

yielding the scalar, Ma is called the triple scalar product.

3.9 MOMENT OF A COUPLE3.3.4 Introduction: A couple is defined as two parallel forces
which have the same magnitude, opposite directions and are
separated by a perpendicular distance, d
-F
F
Since the resultant force of the two forces of the couple is zero,
the only effect of a couple is to produce a rotation or tendency of
a rotation in a specified direction.
![Page 43: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
-F B r A F
rB rA
O
To derive the moment of the couple, consider two vectors , rA and rB
from O to points A and B lying on the line of action of F and - F.
The moment of the couple about O is:
M = rA x (F) + rB x (-F) = (rA - rB) x F
By triangle law of vector addition, rB + r = rA or r = rA - rB
So: M = r x F
This result shows that a couple moment is a free vector i.e
can act at any point, since M depends only on the position
vector directed between the forces and not position vectors
rA and rB from O to the forces.
![Page 44: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
3.9.2. Scalar Formulation
Moment of a couple, M has magnitude:
M = F x d = r F sin F is the magnitude of one of the
forces; d is the perpendicular distance or
moment arm between the forces.
![Page 45: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Scalar Formulation Concluded
The direction and sense of the couple moment are determined by the right hand rule, where the thumb indicates the direction when the fingers are curled with the sense of rotation caused by the two forces.
The moment acts perpendicular to the plane containing the two forces.
![Page 46: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
3.9.3 Vector Formulation
The moment of a couple can be expressed using the cross product.
M = r x F
![Page 47: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
3.9.4 Equivalent Couples
Two couples are equivalent if they produce the same moment.
Since the moment produced by a couple is always perpendicular to the plane containing the couple forces, it is necessary that the forces of equal couples lie either in the same plane or in planes that are parallel to one another.
![Page 48: Me a Chapter 3](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061107/544a5cb4b1af9fd43a8b46db/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Resolution of a Force into a Force at B and a couple

Example
A force and couple act as shown on a square plate of side a = 625 mm.
