Question

Determine force F?

Answer 1

`32 N`

Explanation:

To be in equilibrium, torque created by force `200 N` must be balanced by torque created by force `F`,w.r.t point `A`

So, we can say,

`75*F = 12*200` ( Perpendicular distance of force `F` from point `A` is `75 cm` and that of `200 N` is `12 cm`....from the diagram)

or, `F=32 N`
