- A B 0 B F C The force F = 319 N acts on the frame shown in picture. Resolve this force into components acting along memebers AB and AC to determine the magnitude of each component. The angle mesurements are 0 = 33° and B = 40°. magnitude in member AB in Newton: N magnitude in memeber AC in Newton: Narrow_forwardThe force vector F has a magnitude of F = 450 lb and acts 15.7° with respect to vertical as at point A at an angle → = shown. The force F is balanced by the tension forces parallel to the two rods AC and AB such that the vector equation → F+F AC + FAB = 0 is satisfied. Determine the tension forces in the two rods in Cartesian Vector Notation. с a b B CC + BY NC SA 2013 Michael Swanbom A NF Values for dimensions on the figure are given in the following table.
