A man exerts a force \( F \) on the handle of the stationary wheelbarrow at \( A \). The weight of the wheelbarrow along with its load of dirt is \( 145 \mathrm{lb} \) with center of gravity at G. For the configuration shown, what force \( F \) must the man apply at \( A \) to make the net moment about the tire contact point \( B \) equal to zero?
Calculate the moment about point \( B \) due to the component \( F_{h} \). The moment will be positive if counterclockwise, negative if clockwise. Answer: \( M_{B h}=( \) in.) \( F \)
