Step 1
P has a magnitude of 4 kips and acts at an angle of 309 degrees. Therefore, its components are: Px = 4 * cos(309) = -2.828 kips (horizontal component) Py = 4 * sin(309) = -2.828 kips (vertical component) Q has a magnitude of 8 kips and acts at an angle of 0 Show more…

Two structural members $B$ and $C$ are bolted to bracket $A$. Knowing that both members are in tension and that $P=6$ kips and $Q=4$ kips, determine graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant force exerted on the bracket using $(a)$ the parallelogram law, $(b)$ the triangle rule.

Three forces that act on a particle are given by F1 = 20i - 36j + 73k N, F2 = -17i + 21j - 46k N, and F3 = -12k N. Find their resultant in component form. Also, find the magnitude of the resultant.
