2. Two forces P and Q pass through a point A which is 4
m to the right of and 3 m above a moment center O.
Force P is 890 N directed up to the right at 30° with the
horizontal and force Q is 445 N directed up to the left
at 60° with the horizontal. Determine the moment of
the resultant of these two forces with respect to O.
3. A 600-lb barrel rests in
a trough as shown below.
The barrel is supported by
two normal forces (F2 and
F3). Determine the
magnitude of both of
these normal forces.
ans.
F2 = 31.06 lbs
F3 = 43.92 lbs
4. What is the moment that Force A exerts
about point A? What is the moment that
Force B exerts about Point A?

ans.
FAA = 200 N-m
FAB = 200 N-m
