QUESTION:
Determine the magnitude and coordinate direction angles of \(F_3\) so that the resultant of the three forces acts along the positive y axis and has a magnitude of 600 lb.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
Transform each forces to Cartesian vector which is , and component of the forces. Note that positive values are those with a rightward, forward and upward directions while leftward, backward and downward directions are negative.
Solve for and its angles using the free-body diagram below:
