Question: The block shown below is subjected to six forces ( three pairs of coupling forces ) . a . Compute the resultant moment ( expressed

The block shown below is subjected to six forces (three pairs of coupling forces).
a. Compute the resultant moment (expressed as a Cartesian vector) about point C by summing the moment that each individual force creates about point C.
b. Compute the resultant couple-moment vector (expressed as a Cartesian vector) by summing the three moments created by each pair of coupling forces.
c. Explain why the answers to parts (a) and (b) are the same.
d. Determine the magnitude of the resultant couple moment found in parts (a) and (b) and the coordinate direction angles the vector makes with x,y, and z axes.
