The answer is one of the options below please solve carefully and circle the correct option Please write clear .
I thought the letters represented the connection between the forces and magnitude. Can you help me truly understand how to evaluate this correctly? Thanks
2. For this series of 4 questions, a man sits in the chair which is pin-connected to the
10-m frame BC. Frame BC rotates counterclockwise. Your final goal is to determine
the magnitude of the support force N exerted by the chair on the man at the instant
0 = 30°. But before that, you need to answer some other questions. Please pay
attention: the numbers may change from problem to problem since they are
randomized.
3) If the two unknowns, N and N₁, represents the tangential component and normal
component of the support force N respectively, and the man has mass of m, select
the correct equations of motion that, when used together, can solve for the support
force N exerted by the chair on the man at the instant = 30°. Take g = 9.81 m/s².
