A 200 lbf force, F1, is applied to the right end of a 30 ft lever at point A. The weight of the lever is 150 lbf and can be modeled as a vertical force, W, at the center of the lever. The applied moment at O is 2500ft-lbf in the clockwise direction. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force, and its location with respect to point A. Note: This problem is covering the Day 1 material from Week 7. Do not confuse Resultant forces with Reaction Forces. Reaction forces were covered during Day 2 and will be on HW 8.1. 30 ft M. 60° W F
