Question: Distances: a = 1 2 ft b = 5 ft c = 7 ft h = 2 0 ft Traffic light: W = 2 0

Distances:
a=12ft
b=5ft
c =7ft
h=20ft
Traffic light: W =200lb
Size:1.33 ft wide x 3ft high.
Warning: W=350lb
Size: 12ft wide x 5ft.
Obtain the total moment produced at the base (point A) of the column due to the effects of the wind and own weight of the 3 traffic lights and the warning. Assume that the wind loads act perpendicular to the surface of each object. Note that your application point is the center of each rect angle. (Apply vector product concept). Note: To calculate wind load pressure add all the digits of your student number. This value is the equivalent in pounds/ft that acts on the surface of the traffic light and the notice. The resulting wind load is obtained by multiplying the wind pressure x surface area of each rectangle.
Calculate the angle formed by the axis AB and the axis AC.
Calculate the moment produced by the forces (weights and wind loads) acting on each surface with respect to the axis AB ( mixed triple product)
Distances: a = 1 2 ft b = 5 ft c = 7 ft h = 2 0
