Statics - Problem 4.47

 From Chapter 4, Force System Resultants

The cable exerts a 130-N force on the telephone pole shown in (Figure 1)

Determine the moment of this force about point A. Enter the components of the moment separated by commas. Express your answer in newton-meters to three significant figures.

 STEP 1  

Gather all presented data, as you will use it to your advantage in vector-type problems. Firstly, gather co-ordinates in i,j,k format of all the presented points.

→ A (0,0,0)

→ B (
