4. Determine the magnitude and sense of the moment of the 800-N force about point A. a. 123.0 N-m CCW c. 132.0 N-m CCW b. 132.0 N-m CW d. 123.0 N-m CW 800 N 38° 0.6 m A 0.5 m
The following are the observed magnetic bearings of a closed compass traverse: LINE FORWARD BACKWARD BEARING BEARING AB S 39°40' E N 38°55' W S 84°45' W S 73°35' E N 14°15' E S 65°50' E N 85°25' E CD N 73°15' W S 14°45' W N 65°30' W S 29°35' W EF N 29°35' E Adjust the observed directions of each line and tabulate values accordingly. Sketch the observed and adjusted closed compass traverse.
The force and couple system shown is equivalent to a force and a couple. Compute for the values of F and theta if the resultant force is equal to 5kN directed 30° N of W. At what point would the resultant force intersect line CD if the resultant couple moment is equal to 150kN-m clockwise?
