Answer

$M_C=126 \mathrm{lb} \cdot \mathrm{ft}$

Work Step by Step

(a) $ \begin{aligned} \mathbf{M}_C & =\mathbf{\Sigma}(\mathbf{r} \times \mathbf{F}) \\ & =\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 3 & 0 & 0 \\ -50 \sin 30^{\circ} & -50 \cos 30^{\circ} & 0 \end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 0 & -4 & 0 \\ \frac{4}{3}(80) & \frac{3}{5}(80) & 0 \end{array}\right| \\ \mathbf{M}_C & =\{126 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{lb} \cdot \mathrm{ft} \end{aligned} $ (b) $C+M_C=50 \cos 30^{\circ}(2)-50 \cos 30^{\circ}(5)-\frac{4}{5}(80)(1)+\frac{4}{5}(80)(5)$ $ M_C=126 \mathrm{lb} \cdot \mathrm{ft} $
