To understand the concept of moment of a force and how to calculate it using a scalar formulation. The magnitude of the moment of a force with a magnitude F around a point O is defined as follows Mo=Fdwhere d is the force's moment arm. The moment arm is the perpendicular distance from the axis at point O to the force's line of action. Figure <1of2 Figure As shown, a pipe is anchored to a wall at point A. (Figure 2) During the pipe's installation, several forces are applied to the pipe at different locations. If F-122 lb, F-19.4 lb, F-14.6 lb, F = 12.8 lb, d = 0.350 ft, d = 0.900 ft, and ds = 0.750 ft, what is MR,, the net moment about point A due to these forces? Assume that moments acting counterclockwise about point A are positive whereas moments acting clockwise are negative Express your answer numerically in pound-feet to three significant figures.
