Numerical Problem (10 points): Robotic arms are the most common machines used in manufacturing, processing
and engineering research. One of the major concerns for these machines is the instability in the foundation due
to changes in the moment as the arm moves. Here is an example of one such robotic arm, where the 160N weight
of the arms AB and BC of the acts at the midpoints. Additionally, the robotic arm is picking up a weight of 40N at
the end of the 'hand'.
(5 points) Calculate the perpendicular distances for the two 160N forces and the 40N force from the foundation
(point A).
(5 points) Calculate the sum of moments for the two 160N forces and the 40N force about the foundation (point
A).
