 Resultant Force: By adding F1 and F2 vectorally

Magnitude of FR

Coordinate
direction of FR

EXAMPLE: 2.81
The pole is subjected to the force F, which has
components acting along the x, y, z axes as
shown. If the magnitude of F is 3 kN, b = 30o
and g = 75o, determine the magnitudes of its
three components.

EXAMPLE: 2.82
The pole is subjected to the force F, which
has components Fx = 1.5 kN and Fz = 1.25
kN. If b = 75o, determine the magnitudes F
and Fy.
