Question: Four horizontal forces act on a vertical quarter - circular plate of radius 2 5 0 mm . Determine the magnitude and point of application

Four horizontal forces act on a vertical quarter-circular plate of radius 250 mm. Determine the magnitude and point of application of the resultant of the four forces if P=
70 N.
A figure shows forces applied on a vertical quarter-circular plate in the y-z plane.The plate lies in the y-z plane with the center at the origin where force P is applied in the negative x direction. The other three forces are applied at the edge of the plate. At the top of the plate on the y-axis, a 120-newton load is applied in the positive x direction. A 200-newton load acting in the positive x direction is applied 250 millimeters from the origin along the z-axis. An 80-newton load is applied in the negative x direction 30 degrees from the y-axis.
The magnitude of the resultant force is
170
N.
The point of application of the resultant force is at y=
235.29
mm, z=
74.584
mm.
