Question

Determine the resultant force of forces $F_2$ and $F_3$ as a cartesian vector. Note that the angles shown in the force $F_2$ are the coordinate angles $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$ with respect to the coordinate axes. $F_1 = 100$ lb $65^\circ$ $120^\circ$ $35^\circ$ $55^\circ$ $F_3 = 400$ lb $55^\circ$ $F_2 = 600$ lb

Step 1

Given: F1 = 1001b (65°, 120°, 35°) F2 = 4001b (55°, 55°, 0°) F3 = 6001b To convert the forces into Cartesian form, we need to use the following formulas: F_x = F * cos(a) * sin(b) F_y = F * sin(a) * sin(b) F_z = F * cos(b) For F1: F1_x = 1001 * cos(65°) * Show more…
