How come the moment vector isn't a vector? -8 isn't a vector.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The Forces F1=3i-2j ,F2=6i+5j ,F3=-5i act at a point ,if the moment vector of the resultant of these forces about the origin point O (0,0) equals -8k then find the intersection point of the line of action of the resultant with y-axis and calculate the algebraic projection of the resultant vector in the direction of the vector OA where A=(3.4) .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its -8 K

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are the units of the moment vector? Is this torque?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are the units of the moment vector though?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its torque

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First let's find the resultant of these forces by adding them up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what the line of action is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because I don't.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it like the radius vector?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its line of action intersects the y-axis at B (O,L)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know how to calculate the projection at least.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its like OB x R =-8K

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ooooh.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, OB would be parallel to the resultant vector, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aha,I think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, no that can't be the case because OB goes through the origin. That mean any force in its direction has no rotational effect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is R the resultant force?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I know the math and physics behind this stuff, I'm just really rusty on the terminology.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhhhh, In that case L (Jُ (times) R =-8k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hell ya ! I got it !! Ty Wio

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you understand physics ? Cuz i got a question in it :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@wio : U there ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its about Electromagnetic Induction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Give Reason: Why the Effective value of alternating current intensity is directly propo. to the magnetic field at the same rate of thermal effect in a resistance or the same power as that generated by the considered a.c current

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay I don't know how to answer that one. You need to look up the formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright ,Ty :)
