D D 6 m sin 30° D 3 m
However, with its new orientation, the force would tend to cause the
beam to rotate about A in the clockwise direction. The moment is
clockwise
Problem 4.2 The mass m1 D 20 kg. The magnitude of 0.35 m 0.35 m 0.35 m
the total moment about B due to the forces exerted on A
bar AB by the weights of the two suspended masses is
170 N-m. What is the magnitude of the total moment B
due to the forces about point A?
m1 m2
Solution: The total moment about B is
MB D m2 9.81 m/s2 0.35 m C 20 kg9.81 m/s2 0.7 m

Problem 4.3 The wheels of the overhead crane exert 10 ft 25 ft 15 ft
downward forces on the horizontal I-beam at B and C.
If the force at B is 40 kip and the force at C is 44 kip,
determine the sum of the moments of the forces on the
beam about (a) point A, (b) point D. B C
A D
(a) The normal distances from A to the lines of action are DAB D
A D
10 ft, and DAC D 35 ft. The moments are clockwise (negative).
Hence,
