For the 2d coordinate system below, complete the following: a) Draw a dashed line that is parallel to (and passes through) the force vector F. This is known as the "line of action" of F b) Draw a line that represents the distance (d) from the origin to the dashed line from the previous step. This distance must be shown as perpendicular to the dashed line. c) The "moment" of force F about the origin is equal to the magnitude of F times the distance d. Assume that a counterclockwise rotation about the origin is a "positive" moment. Think of d as a string connected to the origin. If you pull the string in the direction of F, will that cause a clockwise (-) or counterclockwise (+) moment? y

For the 2d coordinate system below, complete the following:
a) Draw a dashed line that is parallel to (and passes through) the force vector F.
This is known as the "line of action" of F
b) Draw a line that represents the distance (d) from the origin to the dashed line from the previous step.
This distance must be shown as perpendicular to the dashed line.
c) The "moment" of force F about the origin is equal to the magnitude of F times the distance d.
Assume that a counterclockwise rotation about the origin is a "positive" moment. Think of d as
a string connected to the origin. If you pull the string in the direction of F, will that cause a
clockwise (-) or counterclockwise (+) moment?
