Answer by following steps a to d, below. a) Determine the resultant force of the given loading system in Cartesian form. b) Determine the direction of the resultant force (derived in step (a)) measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. c) Determine the resultant moment of the given loading system about point A. Final answers: The equivalent force-couple system acting at point A : The force (in Cartesian form): FRA= The magnitude of couple moment = N N.m (direction: )
