Four people are attempting to move a stage platform across the floor. If they exert the horizontal forces shown, determine (a) the equivalent force-couple system at O and (b) the points on the x- and y-axes through which the line of action of the single resultant force R passes. Assume F₁ = 89 lb, F₂=73 lb. F₂ = 39 lb. F-71 lb, o= 80 in., b= 61 in, and 0 = 44° F F₂ 71 Answers: (a) The force-couple system at O: R= Mo= On the x-axis x = 1 On the y-axis y= B i F, (b) The line of action of the single resultant R- Ө 1 + 1 klb-in. in. in. 1) lb
