Answer:
The resultant moment is 477.84 N·m
Explanation:
We note that the resultant moment is given by the moment about a given point
The length of the sides of the formed triangles are;
l = sin(40°) × 4/sin(110°) ≈ 2.736
Taking the moment about the lower left hand corner of the figure, with the convention that clockwise moments are positive, we have;
The resultant moment, ∑m, is given as follow;
∑M = 250 N × 4 m + 400 N × cos(40°) × 4 m - 400 N × cos(40°) × 2 m + 400 N × sin(40°) × 2 m × tan(40°) - 600 N × cos(40°) × 2 m - 600 N× sin(40°) × 2 m × tan(40°) = 477.837084 N·m
Therefore, the resultant moment, ∑m ≈ 477.84 N·m clockwise.
