2_3_a

Cable BC exerts a force of F = 28 N on the top of the flagpole. Determine the projection of this force along the z-axis of the pole.

2_2_c

 Determine the position (x, y, 0) for fixing cable BA so that the resultant of the forces exerted on the pole is directed along its axis, from B toward O and has a magnitude of 1 kN. Also, what is the magnitude of force F3?

2_2_a

Determine the length of the connecting rod AB by first formulating a Cartesian position vector from A to B and then determining its magnitude

2_1_k

The pole is subjected to the force F, which has components acting along the x, y, z axes as shown. If the magnitude of F is 3 kN, and = 30o and = 75o, determine the magnitudes of F and Fy.

2_1_j

The mast is subjected to the three forces shown. Determine the coordinate direction angles of F1 so that the resultant force acting on the mast is zero.

2_1_i

Express each force in Cartesian vector form

2_1_h

Determine the x and y components of F1 and F3

2_1_g

The upwards acting force of (F1 + F3) kN has to be counter balanced by Fa and Fb. Determine Fa and Fb so that its resultant acts vertically downwards with (F1 + F3) kN

2_1_f

Determine the resultant force and its direction measured from the positive x-axis.

2_1_e

Use vector decomposition to determine the resultant force and its angle relative to the positive x-axis
