Replace the distributed loading by an equivalent resultant force and specify where its line of action intersects a vertical line along member BC, measured from C. 3 kN/m A 3 m B 4 m 2 kN/m сч

1. Replace the loading on the frame by a single resultant force. Specify where its line of action intersects member AB, measured from A. 300 lb 200 lb 400 lb 3 ft 4 ft B A 2 ft 600 lb-ft 200 lb 7 ft

Two bolts at A and B are used to move the trunk of a fallen tree. Replace the forces exerted by the ropes with an equivalent wrench and determine (a) the resultant force , (b) the pitch of the wrench, (c) the point where the axis of the wrench intersects the yz plane.
