Answer
The moment about the point \((2, 2)\) is zero.
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between the moments of a force about different points. The moment of a force about a point is given by the equation:
\[
\overrightarrow{M} = \overrightarrow{r} \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
where \( \overrightarrow{r} \) is the position vector from the point to the point of application of the force.
Given:
- Moment about point \( A(3, 5) \) is \( \overrightarrow{M_A} = 6 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \)
- Moment about point \( B(1, -1) \) is \( \overrightarrow{M_B} = -6 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \)
The relationship between the moments about two points \( A \) and \( B \) is given by:
\[
\overrightarrow{M_A} - \overrightarrow{M_B} = \overrightarrow{r_{AB}} \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
where \( \overrightarrow{r_{AB}} \) is the vector from point \( B \) to point \( A \).
1. **Calculate \( \overrightarrow{r_{AB}} \)**:
\[
\overrightarrow{r_{AB}} = (3 - 1, 5 - (-1)) = (2, 6)
\]
2. **Substituting the known moments**:
\[
6 \hat{\mathrm{k}} - (-6 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) = \overrightarrow{r_{AB}} \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
\[
6 \hat{\mathrm{k}} + 6 \hat{\mathrm{k}} = \overrightarrow{r_{AB}} \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
\[
12 \hat{\mathrm{k}} = (2, 6) \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
3. **Now, we need to find the moment about the origin \( O(0, 0) \)**. The moment about the origin can be expressed as:
\[
\overrightarrow{M_O} = \overrightarrow{M_A} + \overrightarrow{r_{AO}} \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
where \( \overrightarrow{r_{AO}} = (3 - 0, 5 - 0) = (3, 5) \).
4. **Using the relationship**:
\[
\overrightarrow{M_O} = \overrightarrow{M_A} + \overrightarrow{r_{AO}} \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
We need to find \( \overrightarrow{M_O} \) in terms of \( \overrightarrow{M_B} \) and \( \overrightarrow{r_{BO}} \):
\[
\overrightarrow{M_O} = \overrightarrow{M_B} + \overrightarrow{r_{BO}} \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
where \( \overrightarrow{r_{BO}} = (1 - 0, -1 - 0) = (1, -1) \).
5. **Now we can find the moment about the origin**:
\[
\overrightarrow{M_O} = -6 \hat{\mathrm{k}} + (1, -1) \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
6. **To find the moment about the point \( (x, y) \)**, we can use the relationship:
\[
\overrightarrow{M_P} = \overrightarrow{M_O} + \overrightarrow{r_{OP}} \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
Now we can check the options provided to find the point where the moment is zero.
Let's calculate the moment about each option:
- **Option (a) (-1, -3)**:
\[
\overrightarrow{r_{O(-1, -3)}} = (0 - (-1), 0 - (-3)) = (1, 3)
\]
- **Option (b) (2, 2)**:
\[
\overrightarrow{r_{O(2, 2)}} = (0 - 2, 0 - 2) = (-2, -2)
\]
- **Option (c) (2, 6)**:
\[
\overrightarrow{r_{O(2, 6)}} = (0 - 2, 0 - 6) = (-2, -6)
\]
- **Option (d) (1, 3)**:
\[
\overrightarrow{r_{O(1, 3)}} = (0 - 1, 0 - 3) = (-1, -3)
\]
Now we can calculate the moments for each option and find which one results in zero.
Let's calculate the moments for each option.
We will calculate the moment about the origin for each point and check which one results in zero.
1. **For (-1, -3)**:
\[
\overrightarrow{M_{(-1, -3)}} = \overrightarrow{M_O} + (1, 3) \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
2. **For (2, 2)**:
\[
\overrightarrow{M_{(2, 2)}} = \overrightarrow{M_O} + (-2, -2) \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
3. **For (2, 6)**:
\[
\overrightarrow{M_{(2, 6)}} = \overrightarrow{M_O} + (-2, -6) \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
4. **For (1, 3)**:
\[
\overrightarrow{M_{(1, 3)}} = \overrightarrow{M_O} + (-1, -3) \times \overrightarrow{F}
\]
Now, we will calculate the moments for each option to find the one that results in zero.
