A steel plate is acted upon by two couples as shown. Determine
(a) The moment of the couple formed by the two 40-N forces.
(b) The value of α if the resultant of the two couples is 8 N m ⋅
counterclockwise and d = 820mm,
(c) The perpendicular distance between the two 24-N forces if the resultant of the two couples is zero.
