If A, B, and D are given vectors, prove the

distributive law for the vector cross product, i.e.,
A : (B + D) = (A : B) + (A : D).
SOLUTION
Consider the three vectors; with A vertical.
Note obd is perpendicular to A.
od = A * (B + D) = A B + D sin u3
ob = A * B = A B sin u1
bd = A * D = A D sin u2
Also, these three cross products all lie in the plane obd since they are all

Given the three nonzero vectors A, B, and C, show that if

A # (B : C) = 0, the three vectors must lie in the same

Using a ring collar the 75-N force can act in the vertical z
plane at various angles u. Determine the magnitude of the
moment it produces about point A, plot the result of M

When the engine of the plane is running, the vertical

reaction that the ground exerts on the wheel at A is
measured as 650 lb. When the engine is turned off, however,
the vertical reactions at A and B are 575 lb each. The
difference in readings at A is caused by a couple acting on A B
the propeller when the engine is running. This couple tends 12 ft
to overturn the plane counterclockwise, which is opposite to
the propellers clockwise rotation. Determine the magnitude
of this couple and the magnitude of the reaction force
exerted at B when the engine is running.
SOLUTION
When the engine of the plane is turned on, the resulting couple moment exerts an
additional force of F = 650 - 575 = 75.0 lb on wheel A and a lesser the reactive
force on wheel B of F = 75.0 lb as well. Hence,

SOLUTION F
By resolving F and the 150-lb couple into components parallel and perpendicular to
the lever arm of the crank, Fig. a, and summing the moment of these two force
components about point A, we have
a +(MC)R = MA; 0 = 150 cos 15(10) - F cos 15(5) - F sin 15(4) - 150 sin 15(8)
F = 194 lb Ans.
Note: Since the line of action of the force component parallel to the lever arm of the
crank passes through point A, no moment is produced about this point.

F3 = [300k] lb. The force of the wrench can be determined from

If it takes a force of F = 125 lb to pull the nail out, determine

the smallest vertical force P that must be applied to the
handle of the crowbar. Hint: This requires the moment of F

If A, B, and D are given vectors, prove the

Note obd is perpendicular to A.

= [A y (Bz + Dz) - A z(By + Dy)]i

- [A x(Bz + Dz) - A z(Bx + Dx)]j

+ [A x(By + Dy) - A y(Bx + Dx)]k

= [(A y Bz - A zBy)i - (A x Bz - A z Bx)]j + (A x By - A y Bx)k

+ [(A y Dz - A z Dy)i - (A x Dz - A z Dx)j + (A x Dy - A y Dx)k

Prove the triple scalar product identity

Area = B(C sin u) = |B * C|

Volume of parallelepiped is |B * C||h|

|h| = |A # u(B * C)| = ` A # a

Since |(A * B) # C| represents this same volume then

= A x (ByCz - BzCy) - A y (BxCz - BzCx) + A z (BxCy - ByCx)

= A xByCz - A xBzCy - A yBxCz + A yBzCx + A zBxCy - A zByCx

= Cx(A y Bz - A zBy) - Cy(A xBz - A zBx) + Cz(A xBy - A yBx)

= A xByCz - A xBzCy - A yBxCz + A yBzCx + A zBxCy - A zByCx

Thus, LHS = RHS

Given the three nonzero vectors A, B, and C, show that if

|A # (B * C)| = |A| |B * C | cos u

The two boys push on the gate with forces of FA = 30 lb,

a + (MFB)C = 50( sin 60)(6)

Since (MFB)C 7 (MFA)C, the gate will rotate Counterclockwise. Ans.

Two boys push on the gate as shown. If the boy at B exerts
