Determine the magnitude of the moment of P about the y-axis in Nm.

Transcribed Image Text:The light boom AB is attached to a vertical wall by a ball
and socket joint at A and supported by two cables at B. A
force P is applied at B where P = 14i - 16j kN.Note that the
reaction force at A acts along the boom because it is a two-
force member.
the magnitude of the reaction
force at A is 16.96 kN
