    Mechanics of Couples: How to Counteract Rotational Forces in a System?

    Homework Statement The question reads: F1 is 120kn at A. B is located 300mm from A. f1 is inclined at 40 degrees to the x axis. Force one may be replaced by a statically equicilant force system consisting of a single force f2 and a couple c. Let force f2 pass through b It asks you to...
