Textbook Solutions for Engineering Mechanics: Statics

Chapter 2 Problem 2-46

Question

Determine the magnitude and orientation \(\theta\) of \(F_B\) so that the resultant force is directed along the positive y axis and has a magnitude of 1500 N.

Solution

Step 1 of 4

Transform each force and resultant force to a cartesian vector which is their horizontal and vertical components with variable i for horizontal and  for vertical. Note that positive values are those forces going to the right and upward while negative values are those forces going to the left and downward.
