Example ( 2-13): The plate is subjected to the two forces at (A) and (B) as shown. Determine the magnitude of the FA= 8kN resultant of these two forces and its direction measured clockwise from the horizontal. Solution : Parallelogram Law : The parallelogram law of addition is shown in Fig. a. Trigonometry: Using law of cosines (Fig. b), we have: Fa-6 KN
