III: SEATWORKS

1) From the figure shown below, the moment of a certain Force is 120KN – m clockwise from point O and 60KN – m
counterclockwise about point B. If its moment about point A is zero, determine the force and its inclination from x-
axis.

-X

2) In the figure shown below, find the y-coordinate of point A, so that the 180KN force will have a
clockwise moment of 200KN-m about point O. Also determine the x and y intercept of the action line
of the force.

4) From the figure shown below, Force “P” is resolved into components parallel and perpendicular to the incline.
If the value of the parallel component is 180kn, compute the perpendicular component and that of force “P”.
