Seatwork #2

This document contains 3 statics of rigid bodies problems: 1) finding the cross product and dot product of 2 position vectors and the angle between them, 2) replacing 3 forces on a plate with a single equivalent force and finding its point of application, 3) replacing 3 forces on guy wires with a single equivalent force on a flagpole.

Statics of Rigid Bodies

Seatwork #2

Problem #1
a. Give the rectangular representation of position vector A and B.
b. Compute A x B and A∙B for the position vectors shown.
c. Use the dot product to find the angle between the position vector A

Problem #2
The magnitudes of the three forces acting on the plate are T1 = 100 kN, T2 = 80 kN and T3 = 50
kN. Replace these forces with a single equivalent force R. Also, find the coordinates of the point
where R intersects the plate.

Problem #3
Replace the three forces acting on the guy wires by a single, equivalent force acting on the
flagpole. Use T1 = 200 lb, T2 = 400 lb, and T3 = 350 lb.
