CIE 525 Midterm: CIE 525-16 Homework 2
Document Summary
Problem 1 verify that the solution shown is correct by showing your solution. Determine graphically the magnitude and direction of the resultant of the two forces shown using: Step 1 draw the two forces shown tip-to- tail and draw them to scale: Step 2 complete the triangle by drawing the resultant from point o to the end of the 500 lb vector. Step 3 measure the length of the resultant r and the angle between the dashed horizontal line and the resultant vector r. Problem 2 verify the steps shown and complete the rest of the steps. Knowing that the: tension in member b is 2500 lbs tension in member c is 2000 lbs, determine using the parallelogram law the magnitude and direction of the resultant force acting on the bracket. Step 1 draw the two forces shown tail- to-tail and draw them to scale:
