    1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
    Determine the moment of forces about point a.


    2. Relevant equations
    Sum of Forces of X
    Sum of Forces of Y
    Ma=0?
    cos(<)(force downwards)
    sin(<)(force downwards)


    3. The attempt at a solution
    Countless times, keep getting an answer x10^3 too big.

    Attached is a scanned copy of the question.

    Thanks for the help.
