Description

QUESTION:

Using Cartesian vector analysis, determine the resultant of the three forces about the base of the column at A.

Given:

F₁ = (F_1xi + F_1yj + F_1zk)

F₂ = (F_2xi + F_2yj + F_2zk)

F₃ = (F_3xi + F_3yj + F_3zk)

F_1x = 400 N

F_1y = 300 N

F_1x = 120 N

F_2x = 100 N

F_2y = – 100 N

F_2x = – 60 N

F_3x = 0 N

F_3y = 0 N

F_3z = – 500 N

a = 4 m

b = 8 m

c = 1 m
