Step 1
The moment is given by the formula: Moment = Force * Distance * sin(angle) In this case, the force is 400N, the distance is 50mm (or 0.05m), and the angle is 45 degrees. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: Moment1 = 400N * 0.05m * sin(45 degrees) Show more…

Determine the resultant moment of the four forces acting on the rod shown in Fig 1 about point O.
Pritesh R.
A 300 -N force $\mathbf{P}$ is applied at point $A$ of the bell crank shown. (a) Compute the moment of the force $\mathbf{P}$ about $O$ by resolving it into horizontal and vertical components. ( $b$ ) Using the result of part $a,$ determine the perpendicular distance from $O$ to the line of action of $\mathbf{P}$.
