Question #2: Suppose you needed to replace the 2000 lb force in the figure below with a horizontally- oriented force through point A, a vertically-oriented force through point C, and a couple. Give the vector expressions for the forces through A and C as well as the vector expression for the couple. Your vector expressions will depend on your choice of coordinate system (which direction relative to the figure you choose for x, y, and z) so please be sure to show your coordinate system on your schematic and free-body diagrams. 2000 lb 30° B 5 ft A 2 ft

The figure shows one-half of a universal coupling known as the Hooke's joint. The coupling is acted on by the three couples shown: (a) the input couple consisting of forces of magnitude P, (b) the output couple C0, and (c) the couple formed by bearing reactions of magnitude R. If the resultant of these couples is zero, compute R and C0 for P=750lb.
