Which way will the gate rotate, clockwise or counterclockwise? Neglect the thickness of the gate. -6 ft- B 60° FB А In the figure above. If the boy at B exerts a force of FB = 30 lb, determine the magnitude of the force FA the boy at A must exert in order to prevent the gate from turning. Neglect the thickness of the gate.
