1. The roof BCDE is supported by cables as shown below.
(a) If the cables exert forces FAB = 100 N and FAc = 120 N on the wall hook at A,
deterrnjne the resultanl force acting at A. (7 points)
(b) Assuming that the resultant force calculated from (a) is
- - -
FA = (240 N) i + (64 N) j - (260 N)k , determine the moment of the resultant force
F about point D. (4 points)

(c) Assuming that the resultant force calculated from (a) is

- -· -
F,1 = (240 N) i + ( 64 N) j - (260 N)k , determine the moment of the resultant force
FA about the given axis EC. (4 points)
