Question
Determine the x- and y-components of the tension T which is applied to point A of the bar OA. Neglect the effects of the small pulley at B. Assume that r and \(\theta\) are known.
Solution
The first step in solving 2/3 problem number 17 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Determine the x- and y-components of the tension T which is applied to point A of the bar OA. Neglect the effects of the small pulley at B. Assume that r and \(\theta\) are known.
From the textbook chapter Rectangular Components you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
