Bradley Novak · Answer 1

Fx = (783.451, 373.063, 240.124, 240.124) N

Fy = (470.745, 597.026, 318.66)

Fres = 768.216

Theta = 77.2 degrees from + x

Explanation:

F1 = 914N; F2 = 704N; F3 = 399N

Part A

Fx1 = F1*cos (A) = 914*cos (31) = + 783.451 N

Fx2 = F2*sin (B) = 704*sin (32) = - 373.063 N

Fx3 = F3*cos (C) = 399*cos (53) = - 240.124 N

Sum of Fx = + 170.26 N

Part B

Fy1 = F1*sin (A) = 914*sin (31) = + 470.745 N

Fy2 = F2*cos (B) = 704*cos (32) = + 597.026 N

Fy3 = F3*sin (C) = 399*sin (53) = - 318.66 N

Sum of Fy = + 749.111 N

Part C

Fres = sqrt (Fx^2 + Fy^2)

Fres = sqrt (170.26^2 + 749.111^2)

Fres = 768.216 N

Part D

Angle = arctan (Fy/Fx)

Angle = arctan (749.111/170.26)

Angle = 77.2 degrees
