Question

The bolt is subjected to the force F, which has components acting along the x, y, z axes as shown.
(Figure 1)

Part A

If the magnitude of F is 88 N , and = 62 and = 49 , determine the magnitude of Fx component.

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Part B

Determine the magnitude of Fy component.

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Part C

Determine the magnitude of Fz component.

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

(A) Fx = F cos(alpha)

= 88 cos62

= 41.3 N

(B) Fz = F cos(gammma) = 88 cos49 = 57.7 N

and Fx^2 + Fy^2 + Fz^2 = F^2

41.3^2 + 57.7^2 + Fy^2 = 88^2

Fy = 52 N

(C) Fz = 57.7 N
