Two forces F1 and F2 in space have the same magnitude F . Prove that the moment of F1 about the line of action of F2 is equal to the moment of F2 about the line of action of F1.
The moment of a certain force F is 240N-m counter-clockwise about O and 160N-m clockwise about B. If its moment about A is zero, Determine the force
A certain force F has a moment of 180 N-m clockwise about point O and 90 N-m counterclockwise about point B. If its moment about point A is zero, determine the magnitude and direction of the force. Also, determine the x-intercept of the force. (x-intercept of the force is the distance of the intersection of the line of action of the force and the x-axis, measured from the origin O)
