Two farmers are pushing on a gate with forces FA and FB, applied at locations A and Brespectively. The gate has a hinge at Cand 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 = 35° and the force Fg is applied at an angle of 8 = 70". The distance between B and the hinge at C is Dec = 1.5 m, and the distance between A and the hinge at is DAC = 2 m. Suppose that FA] = 100 N. >TO DC Aa Dac 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 Fl.
