#### Problem Statement:
Determine the moment of each of the three forces about points A and B.
#### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram consists of a horizontal and vertical structure with several forces applied to it. The structure forms an L-shape with the following features:
- **Point A** is the leftmost end of the horizontal segment.
- The horizontal segment extends 2 meters from point A and then another 3 meters before turning vertically downward.
- **Point B** is the bottom of the vertical segment, which is 4 meters long.
Three forces are applied to the structure:
1. **Force F1 = 250 N** is applied at point A at a 30-degree angle to the horizontal.
2. **Force F2 = 300 N** is applied at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical segments at a 60-degree angle to the horizontal.
3. **Force F3 = 500 N** is applied at point B at a downward-right angle with direction ratios corresponding to 3 (horizontal): 4 (vertical): 5 (hypotenuse).
#### Calculation of Moments:
To calculate the moments, you need to find the perpendicular distances from each force's line of action to the points A and B.
1. **Moment of F1 about A:**
\( \text{Moment} (M) = F \times d \)
Since Force F1 passes through point A, its moment about point A is 0.
2. **Moment of F2 about A:**
- Horizontal distance of F2 from A is 5 meters (2m + 3m).
- Moment Arm = \( 5m \sin(60^\circ) \) for the vertical component of F2.
- \( M_{F2-A} = 300 N \times 5 m \times \sin(60^\circ) = 300 \times 5 \times (\sqrt{3}/2) \)
3. **Moment of F3 about A:**
- Horizontal distance from A to the vertical segment = 5 meters.
- Vertical distance from A to B = 4 meters.
- Using the right triangle ratio given, the horizontal component = 3/5 of 500N, and the vertical component = 4/5 of 500N.
- \( M_{F3-A
