As shown, a submarine hatch door is to be opened by applying two oppositely oriented forces of equal magnitude F=150N at points A and B on the hatch door wheel. The radii of the wheel's inner and outer rings are r1?=0.400m and r2?=0.130m, respectively. (Figure 1) Calculate the moments MA? and MB? about point D for the forces applied at points A and B. Then, determine the resulting couple moment MR?. Assume that a positive moment produces a counterclockwise rotation whereas a negative moment produces a clockwise rotation. Express your answers numerically in newton-meters to three significant figures separated by commas.
