Chapter 3, Solution 5.

M A = rB/ A P sin

By definition
where

= + ( 90 )

and

= tan 1

4.8 in.

3.4 in.

= 54.689
Also

rB/ A =

( 3.4 in.)2 + ( 4.8 in.)2

= 5.8822 in.

Then

(17 lb in.) = ( 5.8822 in.)( 2.9 lb ) sin ( 54.689 + 90 )

or

sin (144.689 ) = 0.99658

or

144.689 = 85.260; 94.740


= 49.9, 59.4
