2. Specify the magnitude of F3 and its coordinate direction angles α3, β3, so that
the resultant force FR = {9j} kN.
Solution:
3. The tension in the cable BC is 800 Ib write the force which this cable exerts on
the boom OAB as a vector T. Determine the direction angles of T.
4. The access door is held in the 30o open
chain AB. If the tension in the chain is
100N, Determine the projection of the
tension force onto the diagonal axis CD of
the door.
Solution:
10-Member OA lies in the x–y plane and member OB lies in the y–z plane.
Determine the forces F1, F2, F3 acting in each of the members required
for equilibrium of the joint.
11. Express each of the forces in Cartesian vector form and determine the magnitude
and coordinate direction angles of the resultant force.
12. The magnitudes of the three forces acting on the plate are T1 = 100 kN, T2 =
80 kN and T3 = 50 kN. Determine the magnitude and coordinate direction angles
of the resultant force.
