Question: Problem 1 : Equivalent Systems ( 2 5 % ) Saruman has set his Uruk - hai to work building war machines for his assault

Problem 1: Equivalent Systems (25%)
Saruman has set his Uruk-hai to work building war machines for his assault on Helm's Deep. Realizing that he would rather have them fighting than building, Saruman decides to replace the efforts of the 4 Uruk-hai with one cave troll, each one exerting a force (F1,F2,F3,F4) on the machine. Determine the magnitude, direction, and location of the equivalent force that the cave troll must exert on the arm to achieve an equivalent loading on the machine.
Take:
F1=100lb
F2=150lb
F3=260lb
F4=80lb
a=6ft
b=2ft
c=4ft
d=3ft
=30
