1. The cable AB carries a tension of 400 N. Determine the moment about O of this tension as applied to point A of the slender bar.
2. The lower lumbar region A of the spine is the part of the spinal column most susceptible to abuse while resisting excessive bending caused by the moment about A of a force F. For given values of F, b, and h, determine the angle () which causes the most severe bending strain.
