MA, MB, MR = 0.000,310,310 N. m
To be able to calculate couple moments.
Previous Answers
A couple is defined as two parallel forces, separated by a
distance, that have equal magnitudes but opposite
directions. A couple only produces a rotation in a
specified direction. The moment produced by a couple is
called a couple moment.
Submit
Correct
The two methods of calculating the couple moment in Parts A and B are equivalent and produce the same resultant
moment magnitude MR. Because it only requires one calculation, Part B's method is simpler. Choosing a reference
point along one force's line of action reduces the moment arm to zero. Therefore, when calculating a couple moment,
choose the reference point that most simplifies the calculation.
Part C
Figure
The same couple moment of 310 N m is required to open the hatch door, independent of where the couple's forces are
applied. If the forces are applied at points C and D, what force magnitude F is required to open the hatch door? (Figure 2)

Part A
A couple is defined as two parallel forces, separated by a
distance, that have equal magnitudes but opposite
directions. A couple only produces a rotation in a
specified direction. The moment produced by a couple is
called a couple moment.
As shown, a submarine hatch door is to be opened by applying two oppositely oriented forces of equal magnitude F = 310N
at points A and B on the hatch door wheel. The radii of the wheel's inner and outer rings are ri = 0.500 m and r2 = 0.250 m,
respectively. (Figure 1) Calculate the moments MA and MB about point D for the forces applied at points A and B. Then,
determine the resulting couple moment MR. Assume that a positive moment produces a counterclockwise rotation whereas a
negative moment produces a clockwise rotation.
Express your answers numerically in newton-meters to three significant figures separated by commas.
