1. A space shuttle orbiter is subjected to thrusts from five of the engines of its reaction control system. Four of the thrusts are shown in the figure; the fifth is an 850-N upward thrust at the right rear, symmetric to the 850-N thrust shown on the left rear. Compute the moment of these forces about point G and show that the forces have the same moment about all points.

An experimental device imparts a force of magnitude F= 38 Ib to the front edge of the rim at A to simulate the effect of a slam dunk. Compute the moment of the force F about point O and about point B. The moments are positive if counterclockwise, negative if clockwise. Finally, locate a point C from the base at O to the location on the ground where the force imparts zero moment.
