1. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the bracket and its direction measured counter
clockwise from the positive u axis.

2 . Resolve F2 into components along the u and axes, and determine the magnitudes of these components.

3. Determine the design angle between struts AB and AC so that the 400-lb horizontal force has a
component of 600 lb which acts up to the left, in the same direction as from B towards A. Take = 30°.

4. If ⏀ = 45°, F1 = 5 kN, and the resultant force is 6 kN directed along the positive y axis, determine the
required magnitude of F2 and its direction θ.

5. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the pin and its direction measured clockwise
from the positive x axis.

6. If the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the bracket is 400 lb directed along the positive x
axis, determine the magnitude of F1 and its direction θ.

7. If the resultant force acting on the bracket is required to be a minimum, determine the magnitudes of
F1, and the resultant force. Set θ = 30°.

8. The spur gear is subjected to the two forces caused by contact with other gears. Determine the resultant
of the two forces and express the result as a Cartesian vector.

9. Determine the magnitude and coordinate direction angles of F2 so that the resultant of the two forces
is zero.

10 If the cord AB is 7.5 m long, determine the coordinate position +z of point B.

11. The antenna tower is supported by three cables. If the forces of these cables acting on the antenna are
FB = 520 N, FC = 680 N, and FD = 560 N, determine the magnitude and coordinate direction angles of
the resultant force acting at A.
