    This document contains 4 questions from a tutorial on force system resultants in structural mechanics. Question 1 asks about forces exerted by John and Cliff on a pole and which way the pole would rotate. Question 2 asks about determining the required force magnitude to produce a given clockwise moment about a point. Question 3 asks about determining the moment of a given force about a point. Question 4 asks about expressing the moment of a force about an axis as a Cartesian vector.

    Question 1
    John and Cliff exert forces of F = 400 N and P = 250 N on the ropes. Determine
    the moment of each force about A. Will the pole rotate towards Cliff or John?
