As follower AB rolls along the surface of member C, it exerts a constant force F perpendicular

Question:

As follower AB rolls along the surface of member C, it exerts a constant force F perpendicular to the surface.

(a) Replace F with an equivalent force-couple system at Point D obtained by drawing the perpendicular from the point of contact to the x-axis.

(b) For a = 1 m and b = 2 m, determine the value of x for which the moment of the equivalent force-couple system at D is maximum.
