Question

Transcribed Image Text:Sample Problem 2/4
Forces F₁ and F₂ act on the bracket as shown. Determine the projection F,
of their resultant R onto the b-axis.
Solution. The parallelogram addition of F, and F, is shown in the figure.
Using the law of cosines gives us
R² = (80)² + (100)² - 2(80)(100) cos 130° R = 163.4 N
The figure also shows the orthogonal projection F, of R onto the b-axis. Its
length is
F₁ = 80 + 100 cos 50º = 144.3 N
Note that the components of a vector are in general not equal to the projec-
tions of the vector onto the same axes. If the a-axis had been perpendicular to
the b-axis, then the projections and components of R would have been equal.
