Calculate the forces applied-force-couple system


Solve the below problem:

Q: A car owner uses wrench ABC to loosen the lug nut at C. The length of the handle AB is 372 mm, and the owner applies forces A and B to the wrench. Knowing that these forces are equivalent to a force-couple system at O consisting of the force (R= -(10 N)i + (6 N)k and the couple MO = (60 N m)i + (0.05 N · m)j-(10 N · m)k, determine the forces applied at A and B when Ax = 2 N.
