CE 2301 – Statics – Spring 2014 - Homework Set 08

Problem 4-3. Forces 1F and 2F act as

shown at points B and C, respectively. Determine (a) the moment of each force about point A (indicate the magnitude and sense of each moment) and (b) the shortest distance from point A to the line of action of each force.

Problem 4-8. The force F shown acts at point C on the equilateral triangle as shown. Find (a) the moments of the force about points A, B, and D on the triangle and (b) the shortest distance from each point to the line of action of the force.

Problem 4-11. A 500 N force acts at B as

shown on the baby blue plate. Determine (a) the moment of the force about points A, C, and D using and (b) the shortest distance from each point to the line of action of the force, respectively.
