Homework Equations
So far..
Moment resultant = 1800i +3200k , magnitude = 3070 N*m
Force resultant = 500i +300j + 800k , magnitude = 990 N
The Attempt at a Solution
For the location, I'm not getting x = 1.16, y =2.06.
Instead , I am getting
Mx = Fr*y --> y = Mx / Fr = 1800/990 = 1.82 in the y direction
My = Fr*x --> x = My / Fr = 3200/990 = 3.23
What am i doing wrong?
Edit: i think i found the solution somewhere, but I am not understanding it. How do i know that resultant moment is in the direction of Force resultant? wouldn't they be perpendicular?[/B]
