Question
For part B (answer is 0.28m) can you draw where the perpendicular distance between 48N forces is? And also can you show me the equation for part B? Because for part A (answer is 13.44N) I used M = Fx • Dy Fx is 84 kN and Dy is 16cm. I’m confused that the answer key for part B uses M = Fy • Dx M= 13.44 N•M Fy= 48 N I’m probably misunderstanding Dx at part B. So can you fully explain this question. Thank you!!!
