Question

The device shown is a part of an automobile seat-back-release mechanism. The part is subjected to the 7.6-N force exerted at A and a 250-N·mm restoring moment exerted by a hidden torsional spring. Determine the y-intercept of the line of action of the single equivalent force. Your answer will be positive if the intercept is above O and negative if below O.
