The rectangular framework is subjected to the following non-concurrent system of forces: a 30lb- force below the origin, a 20lb-force  3ft above the origin and making an angle of 30°NE , a 100lb-force with a horizontal distance of 3ft and a vertical distance of 4ft from the origin and making an angle of 45° NW, a 60lb force with the same distance like the previous force but along the positive x-axis, and a 100lbs force 4ft to the right of the origin and making an angle of 60° SW. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant, as well as its moment arm relative to the origin.

Question

The rectangular framework is subjected to the following non-concurrent system of forces:
a 30lb- force below the origin, a 20lb-force  3ft above the origin and making an angle of 30°NE
, a 100lb-force with a horizontal distance of 3ft and a vertical distance of 4ft
from the origin and making an angle of 45° NW, a 60lb force with the same
distance like the previous force but along the positive x-axis, and a 100lbs force 4ft to
the right of the origin and making an angle of 60° SW. Determine the magnitude and
direction of the resultant, as well as its moment arm relative to the origin.
