Homework Statement
The mobile is in equilibrium. The fish B weighs
27 oz. Determine the weights of fish A, C and D.
(The weights of the crossbars are negligible).
Homework Equations
Moment = Force*Distance
The Attempt at a Solution
My idea here is to use the moments about each point, solve for one variable. Here is what I have com up with so far, am I on the right track?
D(14)=A(4) since their moments at that point are in equilibrium.
B(4)=12(A+D)
C(24)=6(A+B+D)
Am I wrong in setting it up this way?
