Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Description:**
If you move the force from position A to B, what moment must be added to create an equivalent system? The force \( F \) is given by the vector \( F = (8.2i + 2.4j) \, \text{lb} \). The height is \( 5.4 \, \text{ft} \), and the width is \( 6.5 \, \text{ft} \).
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows an L-shaped object with two key points, A and B. Point A is at the bottom of the vertical section, and point B is at the end of the horizontal section. The force \( F \) is applied at point A, directed upwards and to the right.
- **Height:** This is the vertical distance from point A to the top of the L-shape, which is \( 5.4 \, \text{ft} \).
- **Width:** This is the horizontal distance from point A to point B, which is \( 6.5 \, \text{ft} \).
To find the moment needed, consider the perpendicular distances and the components of the force.
