The device shown is a part of an automobile seat-back-release mechanism. The part is subjected to the 5.4-N force exerted at A and a 200-N-mm restoring moment exerted by a hidden torsional spring. Determine the y-intercept of the line of action of the single equivalent force. Your answer will be positive if the intercept is above O and negative if below O. 20 mm- 42 mm 200 N·mm 0 F = 5.4 N 20°
