| th forces F_1 ,F_2 ,F_3 act at points ith position vectors r_1 ,r_2 ,r_3 where
F_1 = (4i + j + 2k)N r_1 = (6i + 4j + k) m
F_2 = (i−2j + k)N r_2 = (i + 5j −2k) m
F_3 = (−5i + j−3k)N r_3 = (i + j + k) m
(a) show that this system reduces to a couple and find its magnitude.
(b) if F_3 is removed and replaced with F_4 such that the system is
now in equilibrium find the force vector F_4 .
(c) the equation of the line of action of F_4
(d) the moment of F_4 about the origin.
