Question
Problem 4.28
Five forces act on a link in the gear-
shifting mechanism of a lawn mower. The vector sum
of the five forces on the bar is zero. The sum of their
moments about the point where the forces A, and A,
act is zero.
25 kN
120
(a) Determine the forces A, Ay, and B.
(b) Determine the sum of the moments of the forces
about the point where the force B acts.
650 mm
30 kN
450 mm

Solution: The strategy is to resolve the forces into z- and
y-components, determine the perpendicular distances from B to the
line of action, determine the sign of the action, and compute the mo-
