Four people are attempting to move a stage platform across the floor. If they exert the horizontal forces shown, determine (a) the equivalent force-couple system at O and (b) the points on the x- and y-axes through which the line of action of the single resultant force R passes. Assume F₁ = 66 lb, F₂ = 81 lb, F3=32 lb, F4 = 72 lb, a = 84 in., b = 63 in., and 0 = 45°
