A Light Triangular Plate OAB Is in a Horizontal Plane

Question 4

Multiple Choice

A light triangular plate OAB is in a horizontal plane. Three forces, F1 = 6.0 N, F2 = 9.0 N, and
F3 = 7.0 N, act on the plate, which is pivoted about a vertical axes through point O. In the figure, A light triangular plate OAB is in a horizontal plane. Three forces, F<sub>1</sub> = 6.0 N, F<sub>2</sub> = 9.0 N, and F<sub>3</sub> = 7.0 N, act on the plate, which is pivoted about a vertical axes through point O. In the figure,   <sub>2</sub> is perpendicular to OB. Consider the counterclockwise sense as positive. The sum of the torques about the vertical axis through point O, acting on the plate due to forces F<sub>1</sub>, F<sub>2</sub>, and F<sub>3</sub>, is closest to   A)  4.1 N ∙ m B)  5.4 N ∙ m C)  -4.1 N ∙ m D)  -5.4 N ∙ m E)  zero
