Question

what is the answer for part B ?

Replace the force system acting on the beam by an equivalent force and couple moment at point A. Take F_1 = 2.5 kN and F_2 = 1.1 kN Part A Determine the magnitude of the resultant force. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Part B Determine the angle between the resultant force and the x axis. Express your answer to three significant figures. Part C Determine the equivalent resultant couple moment about the point A. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Explanation / Answer

let i and j are unit vectors along +ve x and +ve y axis

then in vector form:

F1=2.5*(-4/5) i + 2.5*(-3/5) j

=-2 i -1.5 j

F2=1.1*sin(30) i -1.1*cos(30) j

=0.55 i -0.95263 j

F3=-3 j

net force=F1+F2+F3

=-1.45 i -5.4526 j

the force lies in third quadrant.

angle(in counter clockwise manner) with -ve x axis

=arctan(y component/ x component)

=arctan(5.4526/1.45)

=75.108 degrees
