Question: Problem 2 : A 2 D general force system acts on the beam and unknown forces A y , B x and a couple M

Problem 2:
A 2D general force system acts on the beam and unknown forces Ay,Bx and a couple MB at point
B. If the moment of all the forces and moments about A is zero, determine the magnitude of the
unknown couple MB and direction ( CCW or CW ); 2) If the moment of all the forces and moments
about B is zero, determine the magnitude of unknown force Ay and direction (up or down); If the
sum of all the forces in x direction is also zero, determine the magnitude of the unknown force Bx
and direction (right or left). Hint: the moment of a couple in the x direction should be zero since
the pair of forces cancels each other out.
