3. (a) A flat rectangular plate is subjected to the forces shown in Fig .4, where all forces are parallel
to the x or y axis. If F = 200N and P = 300 N, determine the resultant moment of all forces
about the z axis and a axis which is parallel to the z axis. And also determine F when the
resultant moment of all forces about the z axis is Mz = -100 N.m and P =300 N. (7

(b) A structure built in at point O supports 300 and 400 N couples in Fig.5. Determine the
resultant couple moment vector, using both scalar and vector approaches. (8
