A . Refer Fig.1

Fig 1
2. A system of forces and moments acting in a
space are listed below:F1= 3i+ 5j- 6k acting at
a point (2, 1,-3), F2 = 5i- 4j+ 3k acting at a
point (1, 4,2) & Moment = 20i- 35j+ 60k.

and moments in kN-m, (a) find out the
component of resultant force and its
magnitude (b) Resultant moment of the
system about the origin O
