Question: Two parallel 40-N forces are applied to a lever as shown. Determine the moment of the couple formed by the two forces (a) By resolving

Two parallel 40-N forces are applied to a lever as shown. Determine the moment of the couple formed by the two forces

(a) By resolving each force into horizontal and vertical components and adding the moments of the two resulting couples,

(b) By using the perpendicular distance between the two forces,

(c) By summing the moments of the two forces about Point A.

Two parallel 40-N forces are applied to a lever as

20 40 N 40 N 270 mm 390 mm
