Chapter 3.3, Problem 3.87P
The shearing forces exerted on the cross section of a steel channel can be represented by a 900-N vertical force and two 250-N horizontal forces as shown. Replace this force and couple with a single force F applied at point C, and determine the distance x from C to line BD. (Point C is defined as the shear center of the section.)

- A solid cylindrical shaft anchored to the wall at point O is subjected to 70 N and 85 N couples and a concentrated moment at point E. Determine the resultant couple moment. Hint: You can do this in either of two ways by applying (1) a "scalar" approach by evaluating the individual moments of the x, y, and z components of the 70N and 85N forces, taking positive moments to be in the positive coordinate directions according to the right-hand rule., or (2) the "vector approach" utilizing 3D position vectors using the general cross product definition for the force moment. 70 N 0.8 m 1.2 m 2 6 70 N 1.2 m 0.8 m 9 85 N 12 9 12 -1.2m 1.5m 8 D 85 N C 8 E 200 N·m Xarrow_forward4arrow_forwardi need solve thatarrow_forward
