Question: 4 - 6 . The crowbar is subjected to a vertical force of ( P = 2 5 mathrm { lb }

4-6. The crowbar is subjected to a vertical force of \( P=25\mathrm{lb}\) at the grip, whereas it takes a force of \( F=155\mathrm{lb}\) at the claw to pull the nail out. Find the moment of each force about point \( A \) and determine if \(\mathbf{P}\) is sufficient to pull out the nail. The crowbar contacts the board at point \( A \).
I dont understand why is the Moment AP is Map =25cos(20)(14)+25sin(20)(1.5), and not Map =25cos(20)(1.5)+25sin(20)(14), because the formula is Map = Fx(dy)+ Fy(dx)
