A wall bracket is subjected to external forces, as shown in the figure (if the image does not load, click here darr to download it). The lengths of different sections of the bracket are: OA=2m,AB=5.93m,BC=3.65m,CD=9.24m and DE=3.95m. The self-weight and the width of the bracket can be ignored. Calculate the moment (in kN-m unit) at point O, assuming that the force at C is applied horizontally and that the force at E is applied vertically. Note that members AB and CD are parallel.
Please enter the moment calculated to 2 decimal places and specify the positive or negative value of the moment in your answer. Take care to correctly account for the proper sign convention for the direction of moments (counterclockwise is positive).
