Chapter 2 Problem 2-16

Question

Force F acts on the frame such that its component acting along member AB is 650 lb, directed from B towards A. Determine the required angle \(\phi (0^{\circ}\ \leq\ \phi\ \leq\ 45^{\circ})\) and the component acting along member BC. Set F = 850 lb and \(\theta = 30^{\circ}\).

Solution

Step 1 of 6

Given data


Triangle of forces

We will use the triangle rule of forces. This triangle needs to be closed, because we have equilibrium here.
