The perpendicular distance between a line joining points F and B.

Answer to Problem 3.65P
The perpendicular distance between a line joining points F and B is d=4.97 in.
Explanation of Solution
Refer the Problem 3.56P
Write the expression for force P in terms of unit
→EH=(30 in)ˆi−(7.5 in)ˆj+(10 in)ˆk
The magnitude of the line joining points E and H is,
EH=√(30 in)2+(−7.5 in)2+(10 in)2=32.5 in
The unit vector at line joining points E and H is,
λEH=→EHEH
Here, the unit vector at line joining points E and H is λEH.
Substitute (30 in)ˆi−(7.5 in)ˆj+(10 in)ˆk for →EH and 32.5 in for EH.
λEH=(30 in)ˆi−(7.5 in)ˆj+(10 in)ˆk32.5 in=0.923ˆi−0.231ˆj+0.308ˆk
Write the equation of the moment of P about a line joining points E and H is
→P=PλEH (I)
Here, the moment of force is P and the force.
Conclusion:
Substitute 910 lb for P and 0.923ˆi−0.231ˆj+0.308ˆk for λEH in equation (I).
→P=(910 lb)(0.923ˆi−0.231ˆj+0.308ˆk)=(840.0 lb)ˆi−(210.0 lb)ˆj+(280 lb)ˆk
Write the expression for force P in terms of unit vector at line joining points F and B:
→FB=(30 in)ˆi+(15 in)ˆj−(10 in)ˆk
The magnitude of the line joining points F and B is,
FB=√(30 in)2+(15 in)2+(−10 in)2=35.0 in
The unit vector at line joining points F and B is,
λFB=→FBFB
Here, the unit vector at line joining points F and B is λFB.
Substitute (30 in)ˆi+(15 in)ˆj−(10 in)ˆk for →FB and 35.0 in for FB.
λFB=(30 in)ˆi+(15 in)ˆj−(10 in)ˆk35 in=0.857ˆi+0.429ˆj−0.286ˆk
Write the equation of the moment of P about a line joining points F and B is
Pparallel=→PλFB (II)
Here, the perpendicular component contribute to the moment of force about the line FB is →P
Substitute (840.0 lb)ˆi−(210.0 lb)ˆj+(280 lb)ˆk for →P and 0.857ˆi+0.429ˆj−0.286ˆk for λFB in equation (II).
Pparallel=((840.0 lb)ˆi−(210.0 lb)ˆj+(280 lb)ˆk)(0.857ˆi+0.429ˆj−0.286ˆk)=720 lb−90.1 lb−80.1 lb=550 lb
The relation between perpendicular and parallel component contribute to the moment of force is,
P2=P2parallel+P2perpendicular (III)
Here, the parallel component of moment is Pparallel and perpendicular component of moment is Pperpendicular.
Rewrite the equation (III) to get Pperpendicular.
Pperpendicular=√P2−P2parallel
Refer the Problem 3.56
The moment of P about axis FB is 910 lb.
Substitute 550 lb for Pparallel and 910 lb for P.
Pperpendicular=√(910 lb)2−(550 lb)2828100−302500=724.98 lb
Write the equation for the moment about a line joining points F and B.
MFB=d(P)perpendicular
Here, the moment about a line joining points F and B is MFB and the perpendicular distance is d.
Rewrite the relation in terms of d.
d=MFB(P)perpendicular
Refer the Problem 3.56
The value of the moment line joining points F and B is MFB is 300 lb⋅ft
Substitute 300 lb⋅ft for MFB and 724.98 lb for (P)perpendicular.
d=300 lb⋅ft(12 lb⋅in1 lb⋅ft)724.98 lb=3600 lb⋅in724.98 lb=4.97 in
Therefore, the perpendicular distance between a line joining points F and B is d=4.97 in.
