Further Mathematics SSS 3

WEEK ONE

TOPIC: STATIC (Moment of a force acting at a point)

STATIC: is defined as a branch of Mechanics which deals with the study of bodies at rest acted
upon by forces.
MOMENT OF A FORCE ACTING AT A POINT.

Moment of a force about a given point is the turning effect of a force about an axis through a
point . i.e. the product of the force and the force arm.

|M 1| = |F| x d 1 and |M 2|=| F2|× d 2

Moment of a force is a vector quantity and its unit is Nm.

PRINCIPLE OF MOMENT

The principle of moment states that if a system is in equilibrium under the actions of any
numbers of the coplanar forces. Then the sum of their moment about any point in the plane of the
coplanar forces is zero.

Let R be the resultant of two coplanar forces F 1∧F2 about any point A, then M 1∧M 2 = M R i.e.
the sum of the moment of two coplanar forces about a point in the plane of the force is equal to
the moment of the resultant of the two forces about the same point.

If a system of coplanar forces is in equilibrium, then the sum of the clock-wise moment is equal
to the anti-clock-wise moment about the same point in the plane.

EXAMPLE
A uniform plank X and Y is 16m long and has a mass of 18kg. The plank rests on two supports
at X and Y and a load of mass 8kg is placed on the plank at a point Z, 6m away from X.
Calculate the reactions of the support at X and Y on the plank. (Take g = 9.8ms-2).
Solution
Let R X be the reaction at X and RY be reaction at Y
Taking moment about the point X
RY x 16 = 8g x 6 + 18g x 8
RY x 16 = 48g + 144g = 192g
¿ 192 x 9.8 = 1881.6

1881.6
RY = 16 = 117.6
RY = 118N.
taken moment about the point Y

RX x 16 = 8g x 10 + 18g x 8
¿ 80g + 144g = 224g
224 ×9.8 2195.2
Rx = 16 = 16

Rx = 137.2 ≈ 137N
2. A force of 10 N is applied to a lever at a distance of 2 m from the
pivot point. Calculate the moment of the force.
Solution: M = F × d = 10 N × 2 m = 20 Nm
3. A beam is subjected to a bending moment of 50 Nm. If the length
of the beam is 5 m, calculate the force required to produce the
bending moment.
Solution : M = F × d,
F = M / d = 50 Nm / 5 m = 10 N
Assessment will be given in their further maths textbook
