As shown, a submarine hatch door is to be opened by applying two opposititly oriented forces of equal magnitude F=40.0lb at points A and B on the hatch door wheel. The radii of the wheers inner and outer rings are r1?=1.10ft and r2?=0.60ott, respectively. ( (iigure 1 ) Calculate the moments MA? and MB? about point D for the forces applied at points A and B. Then, determine the resulting couple moment MR?. Learning Goal: To be able to calculate couple moments. A couple is defined as two parallel forces, separated by a distance, that have equal agnitudes but opposite directions. A couple only produces a rotation in a specified Express your answers numerically in pound-feet to three significant figures separated by commas. magnitudes but opposite directions. Acouple only produces a rotation in direction. The moment produced by a couple is called a couple moment. - Part B Calculate the moments MA? and MB? about point A for the forces applied at points A and B. Then, determine the resulting couple moment MR?. Assume that a positive moment produces a counterclockwise rotation whereas a negative moment produces a clockwise rotation. Express your answers numerically in pound-feet to three significant figures separated by commas. Figure
IntroductionA couple moment is a type of moment that occurs when two equal and opposite forces act on a rigid body at different points, creating a turning effect or torque on the body. The resulting couple moment is the product of one of the forces and the perpendicular distance between the forces, or equivalently, the product of the other force and the perpendicular distance between the forces.Given data
