Notes on determining moment (or torque). The moment of a
force with magnitude F about some point is defined to be the
perpendicular distance from the reference point to the line of
action of the force. Consider the
B
following bar AB with force F:
d
60 o
The moment of the force F about
0
t
the point 0 is given by
8f
M0 = F d
where
A
y
d = 8 sin (60)
Thus
x
M0 = [F] [8 sin (60)] = 6.93 F F
Another way: resolve F into components perpendicular and
parallel to line AB. The perpendicular component is F sin (60).
Thus
M0 = [F sin (60)] [8] = 6.93 F.
Same result!!

Moment Vectors. A moment is a vector (just as a force is a
vector) and it has three components corresponding to the moment
about each axis, e.g., the x component of the moment vector is
the moment about the x axis. The force F produces a moment
about the origin equal to M  r  F . We can use double-headed
arrows to denote moment vectors as shown below.

Moment components due to Fx : M y  Fx rz , M z   Fx ry
Moment components due to Fy : M x   Fy rz , M z  Fy rx
Moment components due to Fz : M x  Fz ry , M y   Fz rx
Now add up the moments about each axis to find components:
M x  Fz ry  Fy rz , M y  ( Fz ry  Fx rz ) , M z  Fy rx  Fx ry
So the moment vector is:
M Mx i M y j Mz k
And its magnitude is given by: M  M x2  M y2  M z2
The above can be written in short hand notation using what is
defined as the vector cross product:

We have just proved the definition that M  r  F ! ! !
For a planar force located in the x-y plane ( Fz  0 , rz  0 ), we see
that the force produces moment only about the z-axis (i.e., a
moment vector in the z direction); with similar results for planar
forces in the x-y or y-z plane.

For example, if the force is located in the x-y plane only, this
will produce a torque about the z-axis only, i.e., the torque vector
has only a z component (i.e., k component).

A pure couple (moment) can be represented by equal and
opposite forces separated by a distance d (note: zero net force).

In the left figure, the moment of F about point O is
M=F(d/2)+F(d/2)=Fd (counterclockwise). Consequently, we
could replace the left figure by a moment of FD placed at point O
(the right figure). Note: net vertical force is zero in both cases!!
Now calculate the moment about point A (using the left
figure): M=F(h+d/2)-F(h-d/2)=Fd. Consequently, for a pure
couple M, the moment is the same about point O, or point A; i.e.,
it is independent of the moment reference point! A pure couple
has no net forces accociated with it.

A force may be moved to another point by replacing it with
the same force plus an equivalent couple. Consider the system
below with a 40 kg mass at point B. The force due to this mass is
392 N (40 * 9.8). The 392 N force can be placed at B.
Or, alternately at D, by placing a force of 392 N at D
plus an equivalent moment (couple) of 588 N m (392 * 1.5) at D
as shown on the right figure.

Introduction to Angular Momentum
The angular momentum ( l ) of a system is defined by the
cross product of a particle's position vector ( r ) and its linear
momentum vector ( p  mv ): l  r (mv) . Because angular
momentum is a conserved property, there is no generation or
consumption. Thus, the conservation statement becomes

Angular Momentum Possessed by Mass
 Angular Momentum may enter or leave the system with mass.
 Angular Momentum may also enter or leave the system at a
certain rate.
 When mass enters a system traveling a velocity ( v ) it adds
angular momentum to the system.
 The rate at which mass (m) enters the system is min
dm
( min  in ) and therefore the rate at which linear momentum
dt
enters the system is given by (mv)in and the rate at with
angular momentum enters the system is given by r  (mv )in .
Similarly, rate at which the angular momentum leaves the
system is r  (mv )out .

Angular Momentum in Transit: Forces
 Angular momentum enters the system as the result of forces
that act upon the mass in the system. By Newton's second law,
an external force f ext or torque (moment) Text acting on a
system provides angular momentum to the system.
 The torque produced by the external force f ext about some
reference point is equal to product of the perpendicular moment
arm "d" and the force, i.e. T  d f ext . Or, in vector form, the
torque is the cross product position vector r from the reference
point and f ext , i.e. T  r  f ext . These forces may act as surface
or contact forces on the system boundary (called tractions), or
they may act as body forces on the entire mass of the system
(for example, body forces due to gravity or electrostatic forces).

 The external forces may be due to:
 pressure acting over the surface area of the system
 drag or frictional forces acting on the surface
 supporting structure which holds the system in place (which
cause reaction forces acting on the surface)
 gravitational and electrostatic body forces acting on the
system volume

Conservation of Angular Momentum Equations
We can now state the rate equation for conservation of angular
momentum as:
d lsys
 (r mv) (r mv)out  (r  f )ext
in
dt
The angular momentum of the system may change with time
because of mass that enters and leaves, and because of external
torques caused by external forces that act on the system.
As mass enters the system, the amount of angular momentum
that enters the system is the [mass flow rate] times the [angular
momentum per unit mass (i.e., r v ) of the mass].

We must keep in mind that conservation of angular momentum is
a vector equation! Consequently, we can write in component
form. For a Cartesian coordinate system, we have
x-direction:

 [(r f ) x ]ext

For rigid body statics (no mass enters or leaves the system and
the body is at steady state), angular momentum reduces to
0  (r f )ext
or
0  ( B r f )ext
The latter notation above is used to indicate that the torque can
be calculated about any point (say point B). We could also write:
