Two farmers are pushing on a gate with forces FA and FB, applied at locations A and Brespectively. The gate has a hinge at C and you may neglect the thickness of the gate. Assume that the gate is in static equilibrium. The force FA is applied at an angle of a = 70° and the force FB is applied at an angle of B = 65°. The distance between B and the hinge at Cis DBC = 3 m, and the distance between A and the hinge at C is DAC = 6 m. Suppose that|FA| = 300 N. o Dac D. 天 a) Draw a Free Body Diagram to represent this set-up.
b) Write down the equations for static equilibrium. c) Calculate the moment about C, leaving your answer in terms of the unknown force magnitude Fl. d) Calculate FB
