If 2D system has a clockwise moment of 344Nm and a force of

If 2-D system has a clockwise moment of 344N*m and a force of 42N parallel to the y-axis (in the + j direction) applied at a distance of 13.1m from the origin, determine the moment value of the equivalent force-couple system if the force is applied at the origin, accurate to plusminus 1N*m and assuming counter-clockwise to be positive.

Solution

Moment value of equivalent force couple system = 42*13.1- 344

            = 206.2 n.m
