n order to check the overall structural safety for the skylight slab of the Olympiad swimming pool, you were requested to check the strength of the beams and this requires making analysis for the beams and finding the internal forces in each beam. The following figure shows a segment of the skylight slab of the Olympiad swimming pool and it shows the points where the beams are attached. Represent beam BC in vector form and find the length of the beam using the formula for the vector resultant.   Represent the force in the beam in vector form, if each beam is carrying half the weight of the slab consider the weight is 7000 kg, you have to find the force in each beam.
