Solve the following two problems:
In the system shown on the right, a door is supported by hinges at points A and B and by a chain CD. Determine the following:
a. the unit vector from C to D;
b. the cartesian form of the force F;
c. the moment of the 80lb force about B; and
d. the magnitude of the moment you determined in part 'c'.
The force of F={-21.4i+42.8j-64.1k}|b| acts along the edge DB of figure below.
a. Determine the magnitude of the moment of this force about the edge AC (use position vector AD for the second row of your matrix).
b. For this part, use position vector CD in your calculation instead of position vector AD and calculate the magnitude of the moment of this force about the edge AC.
c. Compare your answer for part 'a' and 'b' and explain your results.
