Question: The right triangular plate shown in ( Figure 1 ) has length AB = 1 2 0 cm , point A located on the x

The right triangular plate shown in (Figure 1) has length AB
=120 cm
, point A located on the x
-axis 66 cm
from the origin, point C on the y
-axis 62 cm
from the origin, and thickness of t
=12 cm
, and it is being lifted by two forces. One force F1
=150 N
is applied vertically at the point B
. The second force F2
=105 N
is applied as shown with \Delta x
=35 cm
and \Delta y
=50 cm
, parallel to the yz
-plane, and at an angle 60
up from the xy
-plane. Determine the total moment of both forces around the axis along the bottom edge of the plate from A
to C
.
Figure1 of 1
An x y z coordinate system has a triangular plate A B C parallel to the x y plane. Point A is on the positive x axis, point C is on the positive y axis, and point B is in the first quadrant of the x y plane. Force F sub 1 acts up on the top of the plate at B. Force F sub 2 acts on the top of the plate at a point delta x units in the negative x direction and delta y units in the positive y direction from A. The thickness of the plate is t.
Part A
What is the moment of F1
about the specified axis? Use the right-hand rule to determine the sign of the moment.
Express your answer to three significant figures with appropriate units.
