Question
**Problem Statement:**

A beam is subjected to some couple moments as shown in the figure and parameter table. With counter-clockwise as positive, what is the resultant couple moment?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a beam with two forces, \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \), applied at different points and angles. The force \( F_1 \) acts horizontally to the left and vertically downward with an applied distance \( L_1 \) from the left end of the beam. Force \( F_2 \) is inclined at an angle \( \theta \) with respect to the horizontal, applied twice due to symmetry, and acts at a horizontal distance \( L_3 \).

**Parameter Table:**

\[
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
\text{parameter} & \text{value} & \text{units} \\
\hline
L_1 & 4 & \text{ft} \\
L_2 & 2 & \text{ft} \\
L_3 & 0.75 & \text{ft} \\
F_1 & 250 & \text{lb} \\
F_2 & 125 & \text{lb} \\
\theta & 75 & \text{°} \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

**Resultant Moment Calculation:**

The resultant moment is calculated based on the forces and distances provided, considering counter-clockwise as positive.

The resultant moment is \(\_\_\_\_\_\) lb·ft.
