  • 9 Nm clockwise
  • B
    9 Nm anticlockwise
  • C
    5 Nm anticlockwise
  • D
    6 Nm clockwise

Answer

Correct option: A.
9 Nm clockwise
(a) 9 Nm clockwise
Explanation:
The longer length is the length of rectangle at which 6 N force acts producing a clockwise moment while 5 N force acts along the breadth of the rectangle producing anticlockwise moments.
Resultant force = 6x4-5×3-24-15-9 N-m.
