In order to unscrew the tapped faucet A, a plumber uses two pipe wrenches as shown. By exerting a 40-lb force on each wrench, at a distance of 10 in. from the axis of the pipe and in a direction perpendicular to the pipe and to the wrench, he prevents the pipe from rotating, and thus avoids loosening or further tightening the joint between the pipe and the tapped elbow C. Determine (a) the angle θ that the wrench at A should form with the vertical if elbow C is not to rotate about the vertical, (b) the force-couple system at Cequivalent to the two 40-lb forces when this condition is satisfied.
In opening a door which is equipped with a heavy-
duty return mechanism, a person exerts a force P
of magnitude 8 lb as shown. Force P and the normal
n to the face of the door lie in a vertical plane. Ex-
press P as a vector and determine the angles 0, 0y,
and 0, which the line of action of P makes with the
positive x-, y-, and z-axes.
