NOTE:
The sign convention for
moments shall follow
POSITIVE for Clockwise and
NEGATIVE for
Counterclockwise.

Problem 3:
Determine the moment about point O in the given systems.
Solving for x and y:
𝑦 𝑥
sin 45 = cos 45 =
2.5 2.5
y 𝑦 = 1.7678 𝑥 = 1.7678
x 450 Therefore:
𝑀0 = +600 1 − 500 1 + 2 + 1.7678 + 300(1.7678)
𝑀0 = −1,253.56 𝑁 − 𝑚
