EXAMPLE 1.6.2 For the force P in Fig. 1.6.1(f) determine the components \( \mathrm{P}_{1} \) and \( P_{2} \) if the former is directed 80 deg from the horizontal and the latter 20 deg to the same reference axis. Force \( P=10 \mathrm{kN} \) is acting at a given angle of 60 deg from the x-axis. ASTAJHO40067862

Step 1
In this case, we are given that the force P is acting at an angle of 60 degrees from the x-axis. The component P1 is the projection of P along the axis that is 80 degrees from the horizontal. Show more…

Two forces are applied as shown to a hook support. Knowing that the magnitude of $P$ is 35 N, determine by trigonometry $(a)$ the required angle $\alpha$ if the resultant $R$ of the two forces applied to the support is to be horizontal, (b) the corresponding magnitude of $\mathbf{R}$.

The resultant of the three concurrent forces acting on the eyebolt is the force R = 800j N. Determine the magnitude of the force P and the angle θ that specifies the direction of the 900-N force.
