Problem 2 Resolve F and into components along the u and u ax

Problem 2 Resolve F and into components along the u and u axes and determine the magnitudes of these components. (Do not use Cartesian notation) F 150 N FI- 250 N 105

Solution

component of F1 along the horizontal line = 250 cos 45 = 176.77 N

component of F1 along u = 176.77 cos 15 = 170.75 N

component of F1 along v = 250 sin 45 = 176.77 N

component of F2 along v = 150 *sin 15 = 38.82 N

component of F2 along the horizontal line = 150 cos 15 = 144.88 N

component of F2 along u = 144.88 cos 15 = 139.95 N
