For the 2d coordinate system below, complete the following: a) Break up the force vector into Fx and Fy components; show these components on the figure. Add a superscript to each component to indicate whether they are acting in the positive (+) or negative (-) direction b) Draw a position vector from the origin (0) to the tail (point a) of the force vector c) Break up the position vector into rx and ry components; show these components on the figure Add a superscript to each component to indicate whether they are acting in the positive (+) or negative (-) direction d) Calculate the "moment" of force F about the origin by multiplying F times its perpendicular distance from the origin (ry), and add the product of Fy times its perpendicular distance from the origin (rx). Assume that a counterclockwise rotation about the origin is a "positive" moment. Think of rx as a string connected to the origin. If you pull the string in the direction of d, will that cause a clockwise (-) or counterclockwise (+) moment? Use this to attribute the correct sign to each of the two terms that make up the moment about the origin. y O X
