Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
For the system on the right, the following parameters are given:
- \( M_B = 250 \, \text{ft} \cdot \text{lb} \)
- \( F_1 = 40 \, \text{lb} \)
- \( a = 5.8 \, \text{ft} \)
- \( b = 5.3 \, \text{ft} \)
- \( c = 4.1 \, \text{ft} \)
- \( \Theta = 22^\circ \)
Calculate \( F_2 \) such that an equivalent system with all forces and moments located at point A creates a total moment at \( A = 0 \, \text{ft} \cdot \text{lb} \). For the equivalent system, what is the final force at point A in Cartesian form?
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram represents an L-shaped system supported at point B with an applied moment \( M_B \) causing a counterclockwise rotation. Two forces, \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \), act on the system. \( F_1 \) is at an angle \( \Theta \) with the horizontal along the member CD, and \( F_2 \) acts vertically upwards at point D.
- Point A is located at the extremity along the horizontal direction from B with a distance `a`.
- Point B is where the moment \( M_B \) is applied.
- Point C and D form the vertical section, with D at a distance `c` from C.
- The angle \( \Theta = 22^\circ \) defines the inclination of force \( F_1 \) from the horizontal.
The objective is to adjust \( F_2 \) such that the net moment about point A is zero and to determine the effective Cartesian force at point A.
