An experimental device imparts a force of magni- tude F = 225 N to the front edge of the rim at A to simulate the effect of a slam dunk. Determine the moments of the force F about point 0 and about point B. Finally, locate, from the base at O, a point C on the ground where the force imparts zero moment.
