i have one question...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont have any idea>>> please guide me>>>

@Zarkon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please help me>>>@Vincent-Lyon.Fr a little bit blur now..

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

F3 should probably be F1 + F2, but I can't read the wording of the problem. Can't you type it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

What does "What if?" mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question asking to find the F3 at B and along BC... So how can i calculate it.. did i must use formula of equilateral triangle..

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

F3 = F1 + F2 so that net torque is zero. The distances of the forces' lines of action to O are the same for all three of them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok .. for formula of torque. is Fd = I(alpha) ... so how can i substitute this inside ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it has for x-axis and y-axis.. it,s mean sum of Fx and sum of Fy

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

??? I repeat: Torque is Force times distance of the force's line of action to the pivot. Using x and y is much more complicated.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so to find torque of F3=(F1+F2)(distance)....

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

The equation is very simple : Let distance \(OD=d\) and anticlockwise be positive. \(F_1.d + F_2.d-F_3.d=0\) Hence \(F_3=F_1+F_2\) That's all you need!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how if the torque of F3 change to another position

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Re-write first equation to : \(F_1.d + F_2.d-F_3.d\;' =0\) And have a look at the picture to find what \(d\;'\) is.

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Got to go now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.. thank you. i understand already.. so the q just to approve torque zero = F3=F1+F2
