Mechanics I: Tutorial 3

1. The resultant force acting on a plate is 1.96 kN and directed 4.12° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. 2. To make the resultant force 1500 N along the positive y-axis, the magnitude of force FB must be determined along with its orientation θ. 3. A force of 80 N acting at 60° to the x-axis and 45° to the z-axis has components of 40 N along the x-axis, 40 N along the y-axis, and 56.6 N along the z-axis.

1- Determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on
the plate and its direction, measured counterclockwise from
the positive x axis.
FR = 1.96 kN
θ = 4.12°

2- Determine the magnitude and orientation θ of FB so that
the resultant force is directed along the positive y axis and has
a magnitude of 1500 N.

3- The bolt is subjected to the force F, which has components
acting along the x, y, z axes as shown. If the magnitude of F is
80 N, and α = 60° and γ = 45°, determine the magnitudes of its
components.

Fx = 40 N
Fy = 40 N
Fz = 56.6 N

4- Determine the magnitude and coordinate direction angles
of the force F acting on the support. The component of F in
the x–y plane is 7 kN.

α = 48.4°
β = 124°
γ = 60°

5- The screw eye is subjected to the two forces shown. Express
each force in Cartesian vector form and then determine the
resultant force. Find the magnitude and coordinate direction
angles of the resultant force.

F1 = [ -106 I + 106 j + 260 k ] N


F2 = [ 250 i + 354 j – 250 k ] N
FR = 482 N

magnitude and direction as shown, determine the magnitude
and the coordinate direction angles of force F3.

BD = 1.50 m
CD = 1.73 m

coordinate direction angles of the resultant force acting on the
flag pole.

FR = 1.17 kN
α = 68.0°
β = 96.8°
γ = 157°
