EXAMPLE 5.0.4. MOMENT OF COPLANAR FORCES

Determine the resultant moment of the forces about point O.


Start the analysis by converting the inclined force into its components.





By taking the x-component of force F1, we can simplify the horizontal forces.

Now that the forces are simplified, check on the moment arms. With the location of point O given, compute for the vertical and horizontal distances to coincide with the line of action of the forces.
