1. The handle of the hammer is subjected to the force of F=20 Ib. Determine the moment of this force about the point A. 2. In order to pull out the nail at B, the force F exerted on the handle of the hammer must produce a clockwise moment of 550 lb-in about point A. Determine the required magnitude of force F. FIGURE FOR PROBLEM 1 & 2 30
