Vector Mechanics Dynamics 9th Edition Beer Johnston Solution 1 ⇒

The preceding example displays one method of supporting students as they build foundational knowledge with "Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics 9th Edition Beer Johnston Solution 1" .

The x-component of $F_2$ is: $F_{2x} = F_2 \cos 60^\circ = 150 \cos 60^\circ = 75 \text{ N}$ The preceding example displays one method of supporting

The x-component of the resultant force $R$ is: $R_x = F_{1x} + F_{2x} = 86.60 + 75 = 161.60 \text{ N}$ The preceding example displays one method of supporting

To find the resultant force $R$, resolve the forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ into their x and y components. The preceding example displays one method of supporting

The y-component of $F_1$ is: $F_{1y} = F_1 \sin 30^\circ = 100 \sin 30^\circ = 50 \text{ N}$
