Scalars and Vectors
Scalars: A mathematical quantity
possessing magnitude only (e.g. area,
volume, mass, energy)
Vectors: A mathematical quantity
possessing magnitude and direction (e.g.
forces, velocity, displacement)
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed6
Types of Vectors
A Free vector: is a vector whose action is not confined to or associated with a unique line in space.
A Sliding vector: is a vector which has a unique line of action in space but not a unique point of application.
A Fixed vector: is a vector for which a unique point of application is specified and thus cannot be moved without modifying the conditions of the problem.
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed7
Working with Vectors
For two vectors to be equal they must have the same:
1. Magnitude
2. Direction
V V
But they do not need to have the same point of application
A negative vector of a given vector has same magnitude but opposite direction
V and -V are equal and opposite V + (-V) = 0
V -V
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed8
Vector Operations
Product of a scalar and a vector
V + V + V = 3V (the number 3 is a scalar)
This is a vector in the same direction as V but 3 times as long
(+n)V = vector same direction as V, n times as long
(-n)V = vector opposite direction as V, n times as long
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed9
Vector Addition
The sum of two vectors can be obtained by attaching the two vectors to the same point and constructing a parallelogram (Parallelogram law)
As vector: V = V1+ V2
Addition of vectors is commutative: V1 + V2 = V2 + V1
The sum of three vector (Parallelogram law) V1
V2
V3
RR1
R = R1 + V3 = V1 + V2 + V3
R1 = V1 + V2
Vector addition is associative: V1 + V2 + V3 = (V1 + V2 ) + V3
= V1 + (V2 + V3 )
As scalar: V ≠ V1+ V2
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed10
Vector Subtraction
Vector Subtraction: is the addition of the corresponding negative vector
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed11
Two-Dimensional Force System
Rectangular Components: is the most common two-dimensional resolution of a force vector
where Fx and Fy are the vector components of F in the x- and y-directions
jFiFF yx
yx FFF
In terms of the unit vectors i and j, Fx = Fxi and Fy = Fyj
where the scalers Fx and Fy are the x and y scaler components of the vector F
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed12
The scalar components can be positive or negative, depending on the quadrant into which F points
The magnitude and direction of F is expressed by:

Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed13
Determining the Components of a Force
Dimensions are not always given in horizontal and vertical directions
Angles need not be measured counterclockwise from the x-axis
The origin of coordinates need not be on the line of action of a force
Therefore, it is essential that we be able to determine the correct components of a force no matter how the axes are originated or how angles are measured
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed14
The term means “the algebric sum of x-scalar components”

Moment (Moment about a Point)
Moment: is the measure of the tendency of the force to make a rigid body rotate about a point or fixed axis
The magnitude of the moment M is proportional both to the magnitude of the force F and the moment arm d
The basic units of the moment in SI units are newton-meters (N.m), and in the U.S. Custamary system are pound-feet (Ib.ft)
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed28
Moment direction: a plus sign (+) for counterclockwise moments and a minus sign (−) for clockwise moments, or vice versa
The moment is a vector M perpendicular to the plane of the body
The sense of M depends on the direction in which F tends to rotate the body
The right hand rule is used to identify this sense
Moment (Moment about a Point)
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed29
where r is a posision vector which runs from the moment reference point A to any point on the line of action of F
The moment of F about point A may be represented by the cross-product expression
Moment (The Cross Product)
The order of r × F of the vectors must be maintained because F × r would produce a vector with a sense opposite to that of M
F × r = -M
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed30
The magnitude of the moment M is gevin by:
M = F (r sin α)
From the shown diagram:
M = Fd
r sin α = d
Moment (The Cross Product)
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed31
Moment (Varignon’s Theorem)
The moment of a force about any point is equal to the sum of the moments of the components of the force about the same point
R = P + QMo = r × R
Mo = r × P + r × Q
Mo = Rd = Pp − Qq
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed36
Example 6
Find:
1. Moment of the 100 N force about O
2. Magnitude of a horizontal force applied at A which create the same moment about O
3. The smallest force applied at A which creates the same moment about O
Given:
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed37
Example 6 (Solution)
1. Moment of the 100 N force about O
Mo = Fd = 100(5 cos60o) = 250 N.m
2. Magnitude of a horizontal force applied at A which create the same moment about O
Mo = 250 = PL L = 5 sin 60o = 4.33 m
P = 250/4.33 = 57.7 N
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed38
Example 6 (Solution)
3. The smallest force applied at A which creates the same moment about O
Mo = Pd = P × 5 = 250
P is smallest when d in M = Fd is a maximum
This occurs when P is perpendicular to the lever
P = 250/5 = 50 N
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed39
Couple
Couple: is the moment produced by two equal, opposite, and non-collinear forces
The combined moment of the two forces about axis normal to their plane and passing through any point such as O in their plane is the couple M
M = Fd
M = F(a + d) - Fa
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed40
Couple (Vector Algebra Method)
With the cross-product notation, the combined moment about point O of the forces forming the couple is
where rA and rB are position vectors which run from point O to arbitrary points A and B on the lines of action of F and –F
M = r × F
M = rA × F + rB × (–F) = (rA – rB) × F
Because rA – rB = r, M can be express as:
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed41
The Sense of a Couple Vector
The sense of a couple vector M can represent as clockwise or counterclockwise by one of the shown conventions
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed42
A couple is not affected if the forces act in a different but parallel plane
Equivalent Couple
Changing the values of F and d does not change a given couple as long the product Fd remains the same
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed43
The combination of the force and couple in the
shown figure is refered to as a force – couple
system

Resultants
The Resultant of a system of forces is the simplest force combination which can replace the original forces without altering the external effect on the rigid body to which the forces are applied
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed51
Resultants
Principle of Moments: This process is summarized in equation form by
If the resultant force R for a given force system is zero, the resultant of the systam need not be zero because the resultant may be a couple
The resultant force in the shown figure have a zero resultant force but have a resultant clockwise couple M = F3d
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed57
Three Dimensional Force System
The Force F acting at point O in the shown figure has the rectangular components Fx, Fy and Fz where

Rectangular Components
The above equation may write as
nF is a unit vector which characterizes the direction of F
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed59
If the coordinates of points A and B of the shown figure are known, the force F may be written as
(a) Specification by two points on the line of action of the force
Thus the x, y, and z scalar components of F are the scalar coefficients of the unit vectors i, j, and k, respectively
Rectangular Components
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed60
Consider the geometry of the shown figure and assuming that the angles θ and Φ are known. First Resolve F into horizantal and vertical components
(b) Specification by two angles which orient the line of action of the force
Then resolve the horizontal components Fxy into x- and y-components
Fx, Fy, and Fz are the desired scalar components of F
Rectangular Components
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed61
The dot product of two vectors P and Q is defined as the product of their magnitudes times the cosine of the angle α between them
Dot Product
If n is a unit vector in a specified direction, the projection of F in the n-direction has the magnitude Fn = F.n
The projection of F in the n-direction can be expressed as a vector quantity by multiplying its scalar component (F.n) with the unit vector n to give Fn = (F.n)n = F.nn

Three Dimensional Force System
Moment and Couple
Moments in 3D can be calculated using scalar (2D) approach but it can be difficult and time consuming
Thus, it is often easier to use a mathematical approach called the vector cross product
Using the vector cross product, MO = r F
Here r is the position vector from point O to any point on the line of action of F
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed70
Cross Product
In general, the cross product of two vectors A and B results in another vector C , i.e., C = A B
The magnitude and direction of the resulting vector can be written as: C = A B = A B sin
The right hand rule is a useful tool for determining the direction of the vector resulting from a cross product
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed71
Evaluating the Cross Product
Each component can be determined using 22 determinants
Of even more utility, the cross product can be written as

Moment In 3D
By expanding the above equation using 22 determinants, we get
So, the cross-product expression for the moment MO may be written in the determinant form as:
MO = (ryFZ − rZ Fy)i − (rxFz − rzFx )j + (rxFy − ryFx )k
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed74
In the shown figure, the three components of a force F acting at a point located relative to O by the vector r is illustrated
The scalar magnitude of the moments of these forces about the positive x-, y-, and z-axes through O can be obtained from the moment-arm rule, and are
Which agree with the relative terms in the determinant expresion for the cross product r × F
Moment In 3D
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed75
Moment about an Arbitrary Axis
Our goal is to find the moment of F about any axis λ through O
First compute the moment of F about any arbitrary point O that lies on the λ axis using the cross product
MO = r F
Now, find the component of MO along the axis λ using the dot product
Mλ = MO •n
Here n is a unit vector in the λ-direction
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed76
To obtain the vector expression for the moment Mλ of F about λ, multiply the magnitude by the direction unit vector n to obtain
The expression r × F•n is known as a triple scalar product
The triple scalar product may be represented by the determinant
where α, β, and γ are the direction cosines of the unit vector n

Varignon’s Theorem in 3D In the shown figure, a system of concurrent forces F1, F2, F3, .....
The sum of the moments about O of these forces is
Mo = ∑ (r × F) = r × R
Using the symbol Mo to represent the sum of the
moments on the left side of the a bove equation, we have
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed78
Couples in 3D
A couple is defined as two parallel forces with the same magnitude but opposite in direction separated by a perpendicular distance d
where rA and rB are position vectors which run from point O to to arbitrary points A and B on the lines of action of F and –F
M = r × F
M = rA × F + rB × (–F) = (rA – rB) × F
Because rA – rB = r, M can be express as
With the cross-product notation, the combined moment about point O of the forces forming the couple is
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed79
Couples in 3D
The moment of a couple is free vector (The moment of a couple is the same about all points)
whereas the moment of a force about a point (which is also the same about a defined axis through the point) is a sliding vector
Couple vectors obey all of the rules which govern vector quantities
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed91
Three Dimensional Force System
Resultants
The Resultant of a system of forces is the
simplest force combination which can replace
the original forces without altering the external
effect on the rigid body to which the forces are
applied
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed92
Resultants of A force System
When several forces act on a body, you can
move each force and its associated couple
moment to a common point O
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed93
Resultants of A force System
In general, the force system can be expressed as
Now you can add all the forces and couple moments together and find one resultant force-couple moment pair
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed94
Resultants for Several Special Force Systems
Concurrent Forces: When forces are concurrent at a point, there are no moments about the point of concurrency
Parallel Forces: For a system of parallel forces not all in the same plane, the magnitude of the parallel resultant force R is simply the magnitude of algebraic sum of the given forces. The position of its line of action is obtained from the principle of moments by requiring that r × F = Mo
Coplanar Forces: Are discussed earlier
Statics Notes 2013 [Force Systems] Dr. Sameer Shadeed95
Wrench Resultants: When the resultant couple vector M is parallel to the resultant force R
A wrench is positive if the couple and force vectors points in the same direction and negative if they points in opposite directions
