Loading acting on the beam

Replace the loading acting on the beam by a single
resultant force. Specify where the force acts, measured
from end A.

The correct answer, found in the back of the book, is 1302 N for the resultant force and the distance is correct 7.36 meters.

you are the best 😚Thank you for the great explanation.

I am fairly certain the angle for the first force should be cos 30 sin 30, since 60 is not the angle from the designated x axis to the vector. 30 is.

why didn't we take Ax, Ay and By into consideration when finding the resultant forces?

What happens to the -125N in the x-direction?

[peterparrish]

this solution makes perfect sense I don't know why people are saying that it is not correct

[philciaire]

shouldn't the 1500 Nm be taken as positive?? its clockwise.

[Eng-Ispuraash]

dear teachet we need mechanic of material 10 edition problem with solutions step by steps

[Mjj]

This is wrong, this isn't what the question is asking for

[ajayrakesh]

1500 is in the counter clockwise direction, it should be positive not negative
