A force is specified by the vector F = [(-100)i + (-150)j + (200)k] N. Calculate the angles made by F with
the positive x-, y-, and z-axes.

Determine the magnitude of the vector difference V' = V2 - V1 and the angle θx which V' makes with the
positive x-axis. Complete both (a) graphical and (b) algebraic solutions.
Assume a = 3, b = 4, V1 = 16 units, V2 = 18 units, and θ = 55°

The slope of the 4.4 kN force F is specified as shown in the figure. Express F as a vector in terms of the
unit vectors i and j.
Assume a = 9, b = 4.

The line of action of the 4010-lb force runs through the points A and B as shown in the figure. Determine
the x and y scalar components of F.
The y-component of the force F which a person exerts on the handle of the box wrench is known to
be 47 lb. Determine the x-component and the magnitude of F.

A force F of magnitude 610 lb is applied to point C of the bar AB as shown. Determine both the x-y and
the n-t components of F.
