The Attempt at a Solution
I'm confused as to how to check which systems are equivalent.
Do I just have to simply reduce all the systems to one force?
I tried comparing systems (a) and (b) and they don't seem to be the same.
If I take moments about the bottom left corner,
[tex] M_{a} = 63N.m[/tex]
[tex] M_{b} = 35N.m[/tex]
I'm confused as to which route I should take to solve the problem. Any ideas?
