Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 4-82:**
Express the moment of the couple acting on the pipe assembly in Cartesian vector form. What is the magnitude of the couple moment?
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram illustrates a pipe assembly in a 3D Cartesian coordinate system with points A, B, and C. The x, y, and z axes intersect at point A. The configuration is as follows:
- The distance from point A to point B is 3 feet along the pipe parallel to the y-axis.
- At point B, a force of 20 lb is exerted upwards (positive z-direction).
- From point B, another segment extends 1 foot in the negative x-direction to point C.
- At point C, a force of 20 lb is exerted in the opposite direction (negative z-direction).
- The segment from point B to point C lies in the plane formed by the x and y axes, with the distance from the y-axis to point C being 1.5 feet and the segment length in the x-direction being 1 foot.
- Additional measurements: the segment extending from point B to point C is directed 2 feet along the y-axis from B to C.
This configuration creates a couple moment about the pipe, due to the equal and opposite forces at points B and C.
