Complete solutions to Exercise 12(b)


1. (a) Putting F 1 and F 2 into i and j components gives
F1 = 20i
F2 = ⎡⎣30 cos ( 60° ) ⎤⎦ i + ⎡⎣30sin ( 60° ) ⎤⎦ j
R = F1 + F2 = ⎡⎣ 20 + 30 cos ( 60° ) ⎤⎦ i + ⎡⎣30sin ( 60° ) ⎤⎦ j = 35i + 25.981j
The magnitude of R is determined by Pythagoras;
R = 352 + 25.9812 = 43.59 kN
By using trigonometry
R −1 ⎛ 25.981 ⎞
25.981 θ = tan ⎜ ⎟ = 36.59°
θ ⎝ 35 ⎠
35
So R has a magnitude of 43. 59kN at an angle of 36. 59° to the horizontal.
(b) Writing F 1 and F 2 into i and j components,
F1 = 5i
F2 = ⎡⎣6 cos ( 30° ) ⎤⎦ i − ⎡⎣ 6sin ( 30° ) ⎤⎦ j
minus because
F2 is down

F = F1 + F2 = ⎡⎣5 + 6 cos ( 30° ) ⎤⎦ i − ⎡⎣ 6sin ( 30° ) ⎤⎦ j = 10.196i − 3j


10.196
θ 3
F
The magnitude, F , and angle θ are
F = 10.1962 + ( −3) = 10.63 kN
2

θ = tan −1 ( −3 10.196 ) = −16.40°


2. We have
F = 31(4i − 6j) − 3(7i − 12j)
= [(31× 4)i − (31× 6)j] − (3 × 7)i − (3 × (−12 ))j
= [124i − 186 j] − 21i + 36 j = 103i − 150 j
By using Pythagoras, F = 1032 + ( − 150) = 181.96kN
2

3. We first put F 1 , F 2 and F 3 into i and j components by using our


calculator.
F 1 = 5∠30°= 4.33i + 2.5j
F 2 = 7∠60°= 3.5i + 6.062 j
Note that F 3 is − 160° from the positive horizontal axis. The minus sign
signifies the angle is measured clockwise from the positive horizontal axis.
F 3 = 10∠ (−160°) = −9.397i − 3.42 j
R = F1 + F 2 + F 3
= ( 4.33 + 3.5 − 9.397)i + (2.5 + 6.062 − 3.42 ) j
= −1.567i + 5.142 j = 5.38∠106.95°
by calculator

5.38kN 106.95°

4. Writing each force into polar form:
F 1 = 12 ∠10° , F 2 = 15∠80° , F 3 = 18∠160° , F 4 = 19∠ (−150°), F 5 = 16 ∠(−110°)
and F 6 = 5∠ (−40°) .
Using a calculator to add these forces gives a resultant force of magnitude
21.13kN and angle of −167.04° . Remember the minus sign indicates the
angle is measured clockwise from the positive horizontal axis as shown:
21.13kN
167.04°
