Question: , Consider the force in ( Figure 1 ) . Figure 1 of 1 A tetrahedron ' A ' B C D is shown in

,Consider the force in (Figure 1).
Figure1 of 1
A tetrahedron 'A' B C D is shown in the x y z space. Point 'A' is at the origin. Point D has all three coordinates positive and lies at 15 feet above the x y plane, 10 feet from the x z plane, and 5 feet from the y z plane. Point C lies in the first quadrant of the x y plane. Point C is 6 feet farther from the x z plane than point D and 8 feet farther from the y z plane than point D. Point B lies on the positive y axis, and it is 4 feet farther from the x z plane than point C. A force F is applied to the tetrahedron at point D and points toward point B.
Part A
If the moment of the force F
about the edge CA
of the tetrahedron has a magnitude of M
=140 lbft
and is directed from C
toward A
, determine the magnitude of F
.
