[b]1. See following attatchment
[b]2. Moment of force= (force)*(perpendicular distance) only for scalar problems.
[b]3. Well i know that moments are a cause of roation among a certain point
and when computing equilibrium we have to calculate the moment for every force
on the free body diagram.
we need the magnitude of every force as well as the perpendicular distance from each force to point A. as shown in the problem. but i cannot seem to figure out what equation (s) I need. all i need is a little guidence not the answer. thank you
