Instructions: ​Show your solutions neatly on a yellow pad paper (write on one side only). To be submitted on
February 13, 2018 ​before the class starts. Submit with the answer sheet stapled at the back of this
questionnaire. Try answering it yourself first before doing it with your classmates. God bless! :)

Problem 1. ​Determine the magnitude and the Problem 3. ​Determine the projected component of
angle with respect to the x-axis of the resultant the force F​AB = 600 N acting along cable AC.
force acting on the pipe. Express the result as a Cartesian vector.

Problem 4. ​Determine the magnitude and direction

of the resultant F​R = F​1 + F​2 + F​3 of the three forces
Problem 2. ​If the resultant force acting on the by first finding the resultant F’ = F​1 + F​3 and then
bracket is to be F​R = {750j} N, determine the forming F​R = F’ + F​2​. Specify its direction measured
magnitude and coordinate direction angles of ​F​. counterclockwise from the positive x axis.
