Question: Two 80-N forces are applied as shown to the corners B and D of a rectangular plate. (a) Determine the moment of the couple formed

Two 80-N forces are applied as shown to the corners B and D of a rectangular plate.

(a) Determine the moment of the couple formed by the two forces by resolving each force into horizontal and vertical components and adding the moments of the two resulting couples.

(b) Use the result obtained to determine the perpendicular distance between lines BE and DF.
