Question:
A square metal plate is pivoted at point O located at the center of the object as shown in Figure Q3(a). The magnitudes of the forces acting on the object are F1 = 21 N, F2 = 15.5 N, F3 = 15.8 N and F4 = 18 N. The plate and all forces are in the plane of the page. Figure Q3(a)
(i) Calculate the resultant torque due with respect to Point O.
