Question: A force F acting at a point A = ( 2 . 9 , 1 . 9 , 2 . 2 ) m creates a

A force F acting at a point A=(2.9,1.9,2.2) m creates a moment M=(0.1i2.1j+1.1k)kNm about the point B=(3.9,4.4,2.8) m.
Denote the line that is (i) parallel to the unit vector u=(0.4i+0.6j+0.6928k) and (ii) passing through point B by .
Answer the questions that follow.
a)
Let M|| denote the moment of F about line .
(This is per definition the projection of the moment of F about B on .)
Calculate the magnitude of M||.
M||=
kNm

b)
The sense of M||Answer for part b)
is the same as the sense of u.
does not exist, since M||=0.
is opposite to the sense of u.

c)
Consider the corresponding perpendicular component M of M so that M=M||+M.
(This means that M|| and M are perpendicular to each other.)
Calculate the magnitude of M.
M=
kNm
