    that the position vector of A is (a) r = 3i - 6j + 5k, (b) r = i - 4j + 2k, (c) r = 4i + 6j - 8k.

    Exercise 3.71

    Four 1-in.-diameter pegs are attached to a board as shown. Two strings are passed around the
    pegs and pulled with the forces indicated. (a) Determine the resultant couple acting on the
    board. (b) If only one string is used, around which pegs should it pass and in what directions
    should it be pulled to create the same couple with the minimum tension in the string? (c) What
    is the value of that minimum tension?
