The L-frame in figure below supports forces from two cables. Cable “EAD” passes through a frictionless ring at point “A”, and cable “OCG” passes through a frictionless ring at point “C”. The force in cable “EAD” is 800 lb and the force in cable “OCG” is 400 lb. For the cable forces applied at points “A” and “C”, using the vector approach determine: a) the moment about point “B”, b) the moment about point “A”, and c) the moment about point “O”.

Question

The L-frame in figure below supports forces from two cables. Cable “EAD”
passes through a frictionless ring at point “A”, and cable “OCG” passes through a
frictionless ring at point “C”. The force in cable “EAD” is 800 lb and the force in
cable “OCG” is 400 lb. For the cable forces applied at points “A” and “C”, using the
vector approach determine:
a) the moment about point “B”,
b) the moment about point “A”, and
c) the moment about point “O”.
