[@cizzie219]

good explanation that helped. the right hand rule in my experience has been poorly explained by others.

[@riwa7219]

simple explanation its really helpful

[@ibrahimbashir6634]

What about moments by horizontal forces instead of vertical ?? Make a video on that too plz

[@Tranefine]

In the first example (0:28), you describe the Bending Moment in the direction of the applied force (clockwise) around point A - which in my eyes makes absolute sense. The same goes for the Momentum around point C (1:19; counter-clockwise in the direction of the applied force: negative Y-axis). So far, so good. But at 2:07, the beam would bend downwards in negative Y-axis (in the direction of the force vector). Yet, you sketched M_A counter-clockwise around point A, so the Momentum is showing completely in the opposite direction as explained in your first example. Why is that?

[@Eurocoded]

Tranefine that M_A drawn in red colour is a support reaction. The support reaction should be in the opposite direction to the moment due to 15kN. Watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZrElnx8g7R5qsU

[@Tranefine]

Eurocoded - Are you really sure that you don’t want to hold some lectures at my university? ;D. No, really, thank you very much! Yes, the support reaction is what I wasn’t thinking about whilst watching the video. But your videos are really helpful, and I also appreciate that you still answer questions under your videos. Not everyone would do this! There isn’t an option to send you in questions/exercises we struggle, is it? :D

[@sbahlebhengu1128]

This really helped. Thank you

[@Eurocoded]

You’re welcome

[@cendol987]

in the cantilevered beam why is Ma counterclockwise? as you show the force is downwards so the moment should be clockwise.

[@Eurocoded]

CENDOL the moment from 15kN when taking moments about point A is clockwise. M_A is the reaction moment. For moment equilibrium, M_A has to be in the opposite direction i.e. counterclockwise.

[@ganeshsaw4521]

Very helpful explanation

[@Eurocoded]

Thank you

[@lgbiyi5777]

In the second example there was a force RA acting on the beam below point A. In case we were taking moments about point C will the force RA cause clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the beam?

[@ridasamuel7453]

Thnks alot it helped alotttt🥺love from Pakistan❤🇵🇰

[@Eurocoded]

You’re welcome ❤️

[@Exahax101]

Thank you! 💙

[@Eurocoded]

You’re welcome

[@darrelwilsxn]

Hey, thanks for the video. So is it always a point on the left is clockwise, and a point on the right is anti-clockwise? Also, what is the importance of it being clockwise or anti clockwise when calculating the 3 equations of equilibrium? Thanks.

[@Eurocoded]

If you have a downward force and you are taking moments about a point on the left then the moment is clockwise. And if the point is on the right for the same downward force then the moment is anticlockwise. If you have an upward force and you take moments about a point on the left then the moment is anticlockwise. If you take moment about a point on the right it will be a clockwise moment.

[@Eurocoded]

Sum of clockwise moments = sum of anticlockwise moments That results in equilibrium.

[@darrelwilsxn]

Thanks so much for the quick reply! :) can help me with my homework if I’m struggling 😂

[@zubaireditz5900]

So what shoupd we do if force is on middle of rod !? Then how will we determine it

[@snehasishmahata8056]

At one instance you are saying that the moment at A due to the load is in clockwise direction and the red arrow indicating moment at A is in anticlockwise direction

[@Eurocoded]

What’s the timestamp?

[@Eurocoded]

@@Kangruv Red arrow is representing the support reaction moment which is drawn correctly i.e. anticlockwise moment. So the beam maintains moment equilibrium.

[@likhitshahrukh6141]

Sir in an other example you said that 15kN is trying to move in clockwise direction but there is a direction as counterclockwise direction so which one we should consider sir ? clockwise or counterclockwise? At point A

[@Eurocoded]

likhit shahrukh direction (i.e. clockwise/anticlockwise) of a moment depends on where you take your moments. Ex: about A or about C. In first example when you take moments about A, 15kN results in a clockwise moment. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions.

[@981unknown]

Thank you so much . I have a question regarding this subject how can i determine this direction if the fulcrum is a point and a force pull it to the left or right not up and down it also sometimes result forming an angle how can i know its direction .THANKS AGAIN!

[@ziadnajm9941]

[@KhadijatOlamide-tl1je]

Thanks for the teaching sir

[@renjoebertcadornigara7988]

Are force sign standard + up and + right - down and - left. Moment sign of rotation can be assumed? Clockwise + counter - or clockwise - counter clockwise +?

[@Eurocoded]

When looking at equilibrium, the typical sing convention Forces: up/right + and down/left - Moments: clockwise + and counter clockwise - You can use any other sign convention as long as you use the same sign convention throughout your calculations.

[@alloutichaima3765]

[@kizziebacchus8439]

What if there are more than one force ? How do you tell which is clockwise from anticlockwise?

[@Eurocoded]

Kiz Wallz Assume you only have one force at a time and determine the direction for each force. Let me know if you have more questions.

[@arifzahir8602]

Thanks alot! Im teaching my small brother and this helped alot. Are you Sri Lankan by the way?

[@olivia_chen]

why is the MA arrow sign turning anticlockwise in the second diagram?

[@j.mohamedaadamjanybasha2419]

If we take A point as the moment so there is a clockwise direction ... so what we take clockwise directions as + or -

[@Eurocoded]

Typical sign conversation is to take it as positive.

Hey if i have a beam and and two forces are acting in clockwise and anti clockwise movement at the ends and i have a weight in the middle how do i know in which direction is the weight acting?

[@debasishait1975]

We know that moment is a vector quantity. Then it must have a direction. Then how can we determine the direction for both anticlockwise moment and clockwise moment?

[@Eurocoded]

[@nicolasmarie4398]

Hi. Thank you a lot for the clear cut explanation. Please help me understand why we consider positive moment for a sagging beam (i.e suspended beam) and a negative moment for a hogging or cantilever beam.

[@Eurocoded]

Nicolas MARIE positive - sagging and negative - hogging moments are based on the typical sign convention. Watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2qolJefnplqfM0 You can use a different sign convention but you have to use the same sign convention throughout your calculations.
