The RMS Queen Mary II is a luxury ocean liner that has a propulsion system consisting of four pods mounted at its stern. Each pod contains an electric motor that is powered by a combination of diesel and gas turbine generators. The frontmost two pods are fixed in position parallel to the x axis, while the rearmost two pods can rotate 360°, thus eliminating the need for a rudder. The ship also has three bow thrusters whose net thrust is shown as F5; these thrusters are used only at low speeds to provide greater maneuverability. Assuming all forces lie in the same plane, determine an equivalent force system at point
