Moment Homework

Problem 1
Determine the total moment of the forces in the system about point "O" indicated in the diagram to the right.
(force scale, one grid = 10 kips; distance scale, one grid = 1 foot).

Problem 2
Determine the moment at the base of the tower (Point O). The horizontal load (B) is 100 kips and acts eighty (80) feet above point A, the vertical load (A) is 10 Kips and acts through the axis of the tower.

Problem 3
Determine the moment of the Force indicated if the force is equal to 1.5 kips and the lever arm is 10.25 feet.
