Answer:
291.598 N-m
291.6 N-m
Explanation:
Let's first take a look at the free bodily diagrammatic representation.
The first diagram will aid us in answering question (a), so as the second diagram will facilitate effective understanding when solving for question (b).
Let's first determine our angle θ from the diagram
To find angle θ ; we have :
tan θ =
tan θ =
tan θ = 1.333
θ = tan⁻¹ (1.333)
θ = 53.13°
Now, to determine the moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point A by resolving that force into horizontal and vertical components applied at point A.
We have:
where Force(F) = Force in the cord AC = 1350 N and θ = 53.13° ; we have:
Since the negative sign illustrates just the clockwise movement ; then the moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point A by resolving that force into horizontal and vertical components applied at point A = 291.598 N-m
b) From the second diagram, taking the moment at point B ,
we have:
where Force(F) = 1350 N and θ = 53.13° ; we have:
Since the negative sign illustrates just the clockwise movement ; then the moment about B of the force exerted by the cord at point A by resolving that force into horizontal and vertical components applied at point C = 291.6 N-m
