Four Forces Act at Bolt A As Shown. Determine The Force.: Beer, 5th. Ed. Sample Problem 2.3

1) Four forces act on bolt A. Using the polygon and resolution methods, the resultant force R is calculated to be 199.6 N. 2) Two forces act on the end of a boom. Using trigonometry and resolving forces into components, the tension in cable AC is calculated to be 74.34 N. 3) Forces act on a bracket and barge. Using trigonometry, minimum forces are calculated - for the bracket problem, the minimum force F is 800 N, and for the barge problem, the minimum tension in rope 2 is 2588 N.
