Solution Summary: The author calculates the force F for a van weighing 2200lb, assuming that the weight of the van is evenly distributed among all the four tires.
A van weighing
2200
lb
is parked on a street with an
8
°
incline.
a. Write the force vector F representing the weight against a single tire. Write F in terms of i and j and assume that the weight of the van is evenly distributed among all four tires.
b. Find the component vector,
F
1
of F parallel to the street. Round to 1 decimal place.
c Find the magnitude of the force required by the brakes on each wheel to keep the truck from rolling down the street. Round to the nearest tenth of a pound.
Quantities that have magnitude and direction but not position. Some examples of vectors are velocity, displacement, acceleration, and force. They are sometimes called Euclidean or spatial vectors.
Both the magnitude and the direction of the force on a crankshaft change as the crankshaft rotates. Find the magnitude (in ft-lb) of the torque on the crankshaft using the position and data shown in the figure, where F = 1,600 lb. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) A crankshaft goes up and right a distance of 0.16 ft. A vector F starts at the end of the crankshaft and goes down and right making an angle of 60° with the crankshaft.
Find the magnitude and the corresponding unit vector
If v = 3i - 4j is a velocity vector, express v as a product of its magnitude (its speed) times its direction.
