Consider a cantilever beam on which forces of 1000 N, 600 N, 750 N, and 500 N act at different points B, C, D, and E, respectively. The moment generated at point A by a particular force is the product of either of the forces with the corresponding perpendicular distance from the point of application of the force to the fixed-point A. Here, the forces F1, F2, and F3 generate a moment in the clockwise direction, which is conventionally considered negative, while the moment produced by force F4 is positive considering the counterclockwise direction. The resultant moment due to all four forces is calculated as the algebraic sum of all the moments generated by each force in the system. Here, since the magnitude of the resultant moment is negative, it acts in the clockwise direction. Now suppose the direction of force F3 is reversed. The resultant moment will be positive, indicating a counterclockwise moment about point A.
