The force couple system located at the origin is calculated as;
τ = FL
τ = 2500 x 3
τ = 7500 N.m
The resultant of the coordinate vectors is calculated as;
[tex]r = 3i + 1.2j -2k\\\\|r| = \sqrt{3^2 + 1.2^2 + (-2)^2} \\\\|r| = 3.8[/tex]
The z-component of the required moment is calculated as;
[tex]\tau = 7500 \times \frac{3i \ +\ 1.2j \ -2k\ }{3.8} \\\\\tau = 1973.68(3i \ +\ 1.2j \ -2k\ )\\\\\tau = (5921.04 i \ + \ 2,368.41j \ - \ 3947.36 k)\ Nm[/tex]
Thus, the z-component of the required moment is -3947.36 Nm.
