This document contains 6 problems related to determining the magnitude and direction of resultant forces on various objects. Problem 1 asks to find the magnitude and angles of the resultant force on a hook. Problem 2 asks to find the magnitude and direction of one force given the magnitude of the resultant. Problem 3 asks to write forces on a telephone pole in Cartesian vector form. Problems 4, 5 and 6 ask to find the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on different objects given the individual forces acting on them.

ASSIGNMENT-I 1. Determine the magnitude and coordinate direction angles of the resultant force acting on the hook. Ans:- FR=733N, x=53.5o, y=65.3o,z=133o
4. Determine the magnitude and direction measured
counter clock wise from the positive x axis of the resultant force of the three forces acting on the ring A. Take F1 = 500 N and = 20.
Ans:-FR=1.03N, =87.9o
2. If the magnitude of the resultant force acting on
the bracket is 600 N, directed along the positive u axis, determine the magnitude of F1 and its direction . Ans:- F1=528N, =29.2o
5. The tower is held in place by three cables. If the
force of each cable acting on the tower is shown, determine the magnitude and coordinate direction angles , , of the resultant force. Take x = 15 m, y = 20 m.
