2.1. Determine the moment of the 20-lb force about the point O. Sec Fig. 2-3.
SOLUTION
Drop the perpendicular OD from O to the action line of the 20-lb force. Its length to scale is 4.33 ft.
The moment of the force about 0 (actually about an axis through O perpendicular to the xy plane) is
therefore -(20 x 4.33) = -86.6 lb-ft.
