as a trailer is towed in the forward direction, the firce F = 500N is applied to the ball of the trailer hitch. Determine the moment of this force about point O...static problem​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The right approach is "128.578 N-m".

Explanation:

Given:

Force,

F = 500 N

then,

[tex]F_y=500 \ Cos30[/tex]

[tex]F_x=500 \ Sin 30[/tex]

Now,

The moment of force will be:

⇒  [tex]\Sigma M_0=500 \ Cos30\times (275)+500 \ Sin30\times (38)[/tex]

             [tex]=500\times \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}\times 275+500\times \frac{1}{2}\times 38[/tex]

             [tex]=128578.493[/tex]

or,

            [tex]=128.578 \ N-m[/tex]
