Chapter 2 Problem 2-23

Question

Two forces act on the screw eye. If \(F_1 = 400\ N\) and \(F_2 = 600\ N\0, determine the angle \(\theta (0^{\circ}\ \leq\ \theta\ \leq\ 180^{\circ})\) between them, so that the resultant force has a magnitude of \(F_R = 800\ N\).

Solution

Step 1 of 3

The angle  can be solved using the triangle law. Construct a triangle as shown below.

Connect the tail of  force to the head of  force. Note that components are in tail-head connection while component and resultant are either tail-tail or head-head connections.
