5.1 CALCULATING SCALAR AND VECTOR MOMENTS


À  p

Next lets consider a case where the forces are not so simple,















Each of these three methods will be required at some time or another, each should be considered fundamental, any that is not learned will make certain problems difficult/impossible to solve.

Consider the bent pipe in the practice problem below, ([Hibbeler, 1992], prob 4-30, pg. )











Finally consider an application of moment calculations as seen below. Here we would need to balance the maximum load allowed against the hydralic cylinders acting on the lifter. This can be done using a sum of moments.
