The pole supports a 22-lb traffic light. Using Cartesian vectors, determine the moment of the weight of the traffic light about the base of the pole at A.

MA = 216k lb-ft
MA = (-132i-229j-216k) lb-ft
MA = (-229i+121j) lb-ft
MA = (-132i+229j) lb-ft

x=22 lbs*cos30 *12 ft =228 lb-ft.
y=22 lbs *sin30 *12 ft = 121 lb-ft.
z lies in the same line and hence 0.
