The answer should be -24.9 lb.ft for point E and -50.9 lb.ft for point S. Could you explain and show the work? Thank you

Transcribed Image Text:**Determine the Moment Exerted by the Weight of 30 lb**
**Objective:**
Calculate the moment exerted by a 30 lb weight.
**Tasks:**
a) Determine the moment with respect to point E.
b) Determine the moment with respect to point S.
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The image shows an arm holding a weight. The arm forms a lever, with two key angles and distances provided.
- **Point E:** Positioned along the forearm.
- **Point S:** Situated near the shoulder.
- **Distances and Angles:**
- Distance from S to E is 12 inches with an angle of 30 degrees relative to the horizontal line.
- Distance from E to the weight is 13 inches with an angle of 40 degrees relative to the horizontal line.
- The weight is depicted as hanging vertically downward from the hand.
Use trigonometric methods and the principle of moments (Moment = Force x Distance x sin(Θ)) to solve for the moments at points E and S.
