Question
### Problem #2

1. **Determine the moment of the 6 kip force about point A.**

2. **Determine the moment of the 4 kip force about point A.**

3. **Determine the moment of both forces about point A.**

#### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram shows a beam that is subjected to two forces:

- A 6 kip force is applied vertically downward at a point 3 feet from point A.
- A 4 kip force is applied at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal, 4 feet from point A.

The beam segments have the following dimensions:

- The 6 kip force is located 1.5 feet horizontally from point A and 1.5 feet vertically upwards.
- The 4 kip force is located at an angle, 1.5 feet horizontally from the 6 kip force. 

The geometry and angles are critical for solving the problem using the principles of moments in mechanics.
