Transcribed Image Text:**Engineering Statics Problem Set**
1. **Determine the unit vector \( \vec{e}_{CD} \) in the direction from point C towards point D**
- (which is the direction of the force \( \vec{F} \) of the figure).
2. **Determine the moment \( \vec{M}_D \) of the force \( \vec{F} \) about the point D.**
3. **Determine the moment \( \vec{M}_A \) of the force \( \vec{F} \) about the point A.**
4. **Give the Force-Couple system which acts at point A, which is equivalent to the force \( \vec{F} \) given in the figure.**
5. **Determine the unit vector \( \vec{e}_{AB} \) in the direction from point A towards point B.**
6. **Determine the moment \( M_{AB} \) (as a scalar) which acts about the AB axis (i.e., the line from point A toward B) due to the force \( \vec{F} \).**
---
For the above exercises, ensure that you carefully denote the vectors and moments as specified, and provide detailed solutions for calculating the unit vectors and moments. The force-couple system requires thorough understanding of the equivalent systems in statics.

Transcribed Image Text:### Educational Content: Analysis of Force on a Structural Member
#### Description:
The diagram shows a structural member subjected to a force \( \mathbf{F} \) of 700 N. The system is represented in a three-dimensional coordinate system with coordinates \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \). The force \( \mathbf{F} \) is applied at point \( C \) and is aligned along the line connecting points \( C \) and \( D \).
#### Key Points:
- **Force:** \( \mathbf{F} = 700 \, \text{N} \)
- **Coordinate System:**
- \( x \)-axis is horizontal in the diagram, directed to the left.
- \( y \)-axis is horizontal in the diagram, directed upward.
- \( z \)-axis is vertical.
- **Main Structural Points:**
- **Point A:** The origin where the three axes intersect.
- **Point B:** Another reference point placed at coordinates \((0.4, 0.2, 0)\).
- **Point C:** The point of force application, which is at \((0.6, 0, 0.3)\).
- **Point D:** The terminal point that lies in the line of action of force, which is at \((0, 0.2, 0)\).
#### Dimensions:
- The distance between points is marked as follows:
- The horizontal distance between point \( B \) and the \( y \)-axis is \( 0.4 \, \text{m} \).
- The vertical distance from point \( A \) to point \( C \) is \( 0.3 \, \text{m} \).
- The projection of the distance from point \( A \) horizontally to point \( D \) is \( 0.2 \, \text{m} \).
#### Notes:
- Points \( C \) and \( D \) lie on the line of action of the force \( \mathbf{F} \), indicating that the force vector passes through these points in space.
#### Coordinates (in meters):
- **Point A:** \( (0, 0, 0) \)
- **Point B:** \( (0.4, 0.2, 0) \)
- **Point C:** \( (0.6, 0
