    The document contains instructions and examples for calculating the resultant force F for combinations of forces. In example 1, F is calculated to be 58.35 kN at an angle of 88.45 degrees. In example 2, F is calculated to be 87.9 kN at an angle of 67.5 degrees. The document provides trigonometric identities for cosine and sine of common angles and walks through calculating the x and y components of each force and summing them to find the resultant F and angle.

    Building Structures Tutorial 1

    Find the resultant force, F for the below

    Q1
    cos80=0.1736

    sin80=0.9848

    cos45=0.7071

    sin45=0.7071

    FAx =70 x 0.1736 =12.15kN; FBx =-15 x 0.7071= -10.6kN


    Sum of Fx = 12.15kN-10.6kN=1.55kN

    FAy =70 x 0.9848 =68.9kN; FBy =-15 x 0.7071= -10.6kN


    Sum of Fy = 68.9kN -10.6kN= 58.3kN
    F = Sq2 (1.55^2 + 58.3^2) = 58.35kN

    Answer:

    -1

    = tan (58.3/1.55) = 88.45 deg

    Q2

    Q3

    Q4

    Q5
    cos45=0.7071 sin45=0.7071
    FAx = -30 kN; FBx = 30 x 0.7071= 21.2kN; FCx = 60 x 0.7071= 42.4kN
    Sum of Fx = -30 kN + 21.2kN + 42.4kN = 33.6kN

    FBy = - 30 x 0.7071= - 21.2kN; FCy = 60 x 0.7071= 42.4kN; FDy = 60kN


    Sum of Fy = - 21.2kN + 42.4kN + 60kN = 81.2kN

    F = Sq2 (81.2^2 + 33.6^2) = 87.9kN

    Answer:

    -1

    = tan (81.2/33.6) = 67.5 deg

    Q6
