A 7-meter tall post is sunk firmly into the ground. Two tension forces are applied to the top of the post as shown in the diagram below. Tension 1 has magnitude of 6 Newtons and acts horizontally. Tension 2 has a magnitude of 7 Newtons and acts 34 degrees below horizontal. What is the expected reaction moment, in N-m, at the base of the post at A? Remember positive moments act counterclockwise and negative moments act clockwise. T₁ 7m A Ө T₂
