Questions for: Force System Resultants
The pole supports a 22-lb traffic light. Using Cartesian vectors, determine the moment of the weight of the traffic light about the base of the pole at A.
The wind has blown sand over a platform such that the intensity of load can be approximated by the function 
. Simplify this distributed loading to a single concentrated force and specify the magnitude and location of the force measured from A.
A force of 50 N is applied to the handle of the door as shown. Determine the projection of the moment of this force about the hinged axis z. Neglect the size of the doorknob. Suggestion: Use a scaler analysis.
Three parallel forces act on the rim of the tube. If it is required that the resultant force FR of the system have a line of action that coincides with the central z axis, determine the magnitude of FC and its location 
on the rim. What is the magnitude of the resultant force FR?
= 56.3°, R = 861 lb = 54.0°, R = 1000 lb = 36.0°, R = 1000 lb = 36.9°, R = 861 lb
