2. Submit your hard-copy answer script on the following lecture.

1. Determine the moment of the force about point O.

2. The masses m1 = 20 kg and m2 = 8 kg. Determine the sum of the moments due to the forces
exerted by the suspended masses on the bar AB (a) about point A; (b) about point B.
3. Calculate the force applied to the pliers that required to exert a 4 N-m moment about the
center of the bolt at P.

4. The sum of the moments of the two forces about P is zero. What is the magnitude of the
force F?

𝑀𝑅 = ∑ 𝐹𝑑

5. Determine the moment of the 400 N force.
