In tightening a bolt whose center is at point O, a person exerts a 54-lb force on the ratchet handle with his right hand. In addition, with his left hand he exerts a 30-lb force as shown in order to secure the socket onto the bolt head. Determine the equivalent force- couple system at O. Then find the point in the x-y plane through which the line of action of the wrench passes. 154 lb 9.5' 1.3 30 lb Answers: Force-couple system at O R = ( i i+ i j+ i k) Ib Mo = ( i i+ i j+ k) Ib-in.
