Question: Set w = 4 0 lb / ft ( Figure 1 ) . Figure 1 of 1 A 1 2 foot long horizontal beam is

Set w
=40 lb/ft
(Figure 1).
Figure1 of 1
A 12 foot long horizontal beam is fixed with its left end to a vertical surface. The x y plane is shown. The x axis is directed to the right and the y axis is directed upward. The origin labeled as O is at the left end of the beam. Point 'A' is at the top right corner of the beam, 1 foot above the x axis. A distributed loading acts downward on the beam, increasing linearly from zero at the left end to w at the right end. A 100 pound force acts at 'A' downward and to the left, making an angle of 60 degrees with the x axis.
Part A
Determine the resultant moment of both the 100-lb
force and the triangular distributed load about point O
.
Express your answer in kilopound-feet to three significant figures. Assume the positive direction is counterclockwise.
