R4–2. Replace the force F having a magnitude of F = 50 lb

and acting at point A by an equivalent force and couple R4–4. Friction on the concrete surface creates a couple
moment at point C. moment of M O = 100 N # m on the blades of the trowel.
Determine the magnitude of the couple forces so that the
resultant couple moment on the trowel is zero. The forces
lie in the horizontal plane and act perpendicular to the
z handle of the trowel.
