The end of the boom O is subjected to three concurrent and coplanar forces.
Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.

(FR)x = -400 + 250 sin 45 - 200( 4/5) = -383.2 N

(FR)y = 250 cos 45 + 200 ( 3/5) = 296.8 N


determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the eyebolt and its direction
measured clockwise from the positive x axis.

=600 N

Q.1 (5 points) Resolve the force of 450 N into components along
members CA and BA, and determine the magnitude of each component
Express F as cartesian Vector

Fz =750 sin 45

F’ =750 cos 45

Fx =750 cos 45 cos 60

F = {750 cos 45 cos 60i - 750 cos 45 sin 60 j+ 750 sin 45 k} N


Q.2 (5 points). Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force
Find the resultant force in cartesian vector
If FR = {-100 k} N
Determine the magnitude and coordinate direction angles of F2.
If the cord AB is 7.5 m long, determine the coordinate position +z of point B
Two forces act on the hook shown. Specify the magnitude
of F2 and its coordinate direction angles so that the resultant force FR
acts along the positive y axis and has a magnitude of 800 N.
UA

F = {750 cos 45 cos 60i - 750 cos 45 sin 60 j+ 750 sin 45 k} N


2.7 Position Vectors Find rAB and rBA

A position vector r is defined as a fixed vector (6,-1,4)


which locates a point in space relative to another point.

rBA
rAB

(4,2,-6)

rAB = (6-4)i + (-1-2)j + (4- -6)k = 2i -3j +10k

rBA = (4-6)i + (2- -1)j + (-6 -4)k = -2i +3j -10k


Determine the length of AB and its direction
(-2,2, 3)

rAB = {-3i +2j +6k} m

 = = cos -1 ( 6/7) = 31.0 
2.8 Force Vector Directed Along a Line

In many cases, the direction of a force is defined by the coordinates of two points along its
line of action.

1. Form a position vector r along the line of action of force


2. Find the corresponding unit vector u = r/r that defines the direction of the line
3. Multiply the unit vector by the magnitude of the force z
(xB, yB ,zB)
F = F⋅u = F (r/r) B
