QUESTION:
If \(F_1 = 300\ N\) and \(\theta = 10^{\circ}\), determine the magnitude and direction, measured counterclockwise from the positive x’ axis, of the resultant force acting on the bracket.
ANSWER:
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.
