232 Moment of a force about points O and B

Problem 232
In Fig. P-231, the moment of a certain force F is 180 ft·lb clockwise
about O and 90 ft·lb counterclockwise about B. If its moment about A is
zero, determine the force.

Solution 232

Moment about O
M O = 180

xF y = 180

Moment about B
M B = 90

(6 − x)F y = 90

6F y − xF y = 90

Substitute xFy = 180 to the above equation

6F y − 180 = 90

6F y = 270

F y = 45  lb

xF y = 180

x(45) = 180

x = 4  ft
