(a) Reduce the system of forces and moments acting on the structure to a single resultant force (Fro) and a couple (Mro) acting at the origin of coordinates. (b) Determine the "parallel component” (M) of the couple (Mro), i.e., the compo- nent lying parallel to (F). State (M₁) in vector form. (c) Determine the corresponding "perpendicular component" (M₁). State (M₁) in vector form. (d) Reduce the force and couple at the origin to a "wrench resultant" and determine a precise and complete description of the line of action of the "wrench resultant."

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram shows a structural beam subjected to multiple forces and moments in a three-dimensional coordinate system with axes labeled as x, y, and z.

- **Forces:**
  - A 40 N force acting vertically upward at a distance of 2 m along the beam.
  - A 30 N force acting vertically downward, also 2 m along the beam.
  - A 70 N force acting downward at an angle, 3 m along the beam in the x-direction.
  - A 50 N force acting horizontally towards the negative x-direction over a span of 3 m from the origin.

- **Moment:**
  - A couple of 300 N·m acting around the beam, directed along a slightly angled axis.

### Questions

(a) Reduce the system of forces and moments acting on the structure to a single resultant force (\(\vec{F}_r\)) and a couple (\(\vec{M}_{r0}\)) acting at the origin of coordinates.

(b) Determine the "parallel component" (\(\vec{M}_{\parallel}\)) of the couple (\(\vec{M}_{r0}\)), i.e., the component lying parallel to (\(\vec{F}_r\)). State (\(\vec{M}_{\parallel}\)) in vector form.

(c) Determine the corresponding "perpendicular component" (\(\vec{M}_{\perp}\)). State (\(\vec{M}_{\perp}\)) in vector form.

(d) Reduce the force and couple at the origin to a “wrench resultant” and determine a precise and complete description of the line of action of the “wrench resultant.”
