1. Determine the moment of the 800 N force acting on
the frame in the figure below about points A, B, C,
and D.
1. Determine the moment of the 800 N
force acting on the frame in the figure
below about points A, B, C, and D.
Moment at pt. C:
Moment at pt. A: Moment at pt. B:
M =800 N x 0 m
M =800 N x 2.5 m M =800 N x 1.5 m
M =0N−m
M = 2000 N − m M = 1200 N − m
Moment at pt. D:
M =800 N x 0.5 m
M =400 N − m
