- To lift the table without tilting, the combined moment of the four parallel forces must be zero about the x-axis and the y-axis (O is the center of the table). Determine the magnitude of the force F and the distance d.arrow_forwardThe wrench is used to tighten a nut on the wheel. Determine the moment of the 120-lb force about the origin O. Express your answer in vector form.arrow_forwardThe combined moment of the three forces is zero about the axis a-a and the axis b-b. Determine the distances x0 and y0.arrow_forward
- The trapdoor is held in the horizontal plane by two wires. Replace the forces in the wires with an equivalent force R that passes through point A, and determine the y-coordinate of point A.arrow_forwardWhen the three forces are replaced by an equivalent force-couple system with the force at point O, the couple vector CR is directed parallel to the x-axis. Determine F and the resultant force-couple system.arrow_forwardThe couple acts on the handles of a steering mechanism. In the position shown, the moment applied by the couple about the z-axis is zero. Determine the distance b. Use F=150i90j+60kkN.arrow_forward
