Moment of a Couple

Ref: Hibbeler § 4.6, Bedford & Fowler: Statics § 4.4

A couple is a pair of forces, equal in magnitude, oppositely directed, and displaced by perpendicular

distance, d. F B (= -F A )dF A

Since the forces are equal and oppositely directed, the resultant force is zero. But the displacement of

the force couple (d) does create a couple moment. The moment, M, about some arbitrary point O can be calculated. dF A F BOr A r B

ABAABBAA

FrFrFrFrM

If point O is placed on the line of action of one of the forces, say F B , then that force causes no rotation (or tendency toward rotation) and the calculation of the moment is simplified. F AF B Or A

FrM×=

This is a significant result: The couple moment, M, depends only on the position vector r between forces FA and F B . The couple moment does not have to be determined relative to the location of a point or an axis. 5

Example A: Moment from a Large Hand Wheel

The stem on a valve has two hand wheels: a small wheel (30 cm diameter) used to spin the valve quickly as it is opened and closed, and a large wheel (80 cm diameter) that may be used to free a stuck valve, or seat the valve tightly when it is fully closed. 30 cm
80 cm
If the operator can impose a force of 150 N on each side of the large wheel (a force couple), what moment is imposed on the valve stem? F A = 150 N F B = 150 N r A r B

Solution 1

As drawn, both the force and position vectors have x- and y-components. The vectors may be defined as:

» F_A = [ 106.06 -106.06 0]; %Newtons

» r_A = [ 28.284 28.284 0]; %centimeters

» F_B = [-106.06 106.06 0] %Newtons

» r_B = [-28.284 -28.284 0]; %centimeters

The moment of the couple can be calculated using the cross product operator on the Matrix toolbar. » M = cross(r_A,F_A) + cross(r_B,F_B); %Newton centimeters

» M = M/100 %Newton meters

M =

0 0 -120.0000

The result is a couple moment of 120 N?m directed in the -z direction (into the page).

Solution 2

Perhaps a more reasonable positioning of the axes for this problem might look like this: F A = 150 N F B = 150 N r x y

In this case, the vector definitions become:

» F_A = [ 0 -150 0]; %Newtons

» r = [ 80 0 0]; %centimeters

Since the position vector r originates from the line of action of force F B , F B does not contribute to the moment. The moment is then calculated as

» M = cross(r,F_A); %Newton centimeters

» M = M/100 %Newton meters

M =

0 0 -120

The result is, of course, the same no matter how the axes are situated.

Solution 3: Using Scalars

Finally, the problem can also be solved using a scalar formulation. The perpendicular distance between the forces is 80 cm. With axes established as in Solution 2, the moment can be calculated as

» F = 150; %Newtons

» d = 80; %centimeters

» M= d * F; %Newton centimeters

» M = M/100 %Newton meters

M = 120
The direction must be determined using the right-hand rule.
