Two forces P and Q are applied as shown to an aircraft connection. The connection is in equilibrium and P 540 lb and Q 650 lb 50° N. References eBook &Resources; Section Break Difficulty Medium 4. value 10.00 points Determine the magnitude of force exerted on rod B. (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number) The magnitude of force exerted on rod B is 1355 Hints References eBook &Resources; Hint#1

Solution

F_A sin (50) = p+ Q cos 40

=540+650 cos 40

=1037.93

F_A  = 1037.93/sin (50)

=1354.92

Fb = Fa *cos 50 - Q sin 40

=1354.92*cos 50 - 650*sin 40

=453.11 Lb
