8 2-24. Three chains act on the bracket such that they create a resultant force haing a magnitude of 500 lb. If two of the chains are subjected to known forces, as shown, determine the orientation θ of the third chain, measured clockwise from the positie x axis, so that the magnitude of force in this chain is a minimum. All forces lie in the x-y plane. What is the magnitude of? Hint irst find the resultant of the two known forces. orce acts in this direction The jet aircraft is being towed by two trucks B and C. Determine the magnitudes of the two towing forces B and C if the resultant force has a magnitude R 10 kn and is directed along the positie x axis. Set θ 15 o If the resultant R of the two forces acting on the jet aircraft is to be directed along the positie x axis and hae a magnitude of 10 kn, determine the angle θ of the cable attached to the truck at B such that the force B in this cable is a minimum. What is the magnitude of force in each cable when this occurs?

Successie application of Parallelogram Law 2. inding components of each force along specific axes Adding these components algebraically orming the resultant inding components - Resole each force into its rectangular components &, which lies along x & y axes. x y x & y axes : Horizontal & ertical or inclined but orthogonal perpendicular to one another By parallelogram law: x + y x + y - sense of direction of each components is represented graphically by the arrowhead. or analytical work: Need a notation to represent the sense of the direction.

11 notations Scalar Cartesian ector Scalar Notation: o for computational purposes not for graphical representation. Cartesian Vector Notation: Cartesian unit ectors î, ĵ : directions of x, y axes, respectiely. - dimensionless magnitude of unity - sense (arrowhead) analytically + or depending on pointing along + or (e) axes. x y î x ĵ y x î + y ĵ î x + y ( ĵ) î ĵ x y

12 Coplanar orce Resultants: Resultant of coplanar forces 1. resole each force into its x & y components. 2. add respectie components using scalar algebra - sketch components on x & y axes they are collinear 3. resultant is formed by adding resultants of x & y components using parallelogram law. Ex. * Using Cartesian ector notation 1 1x î + 1y ĵ 2 2x î + 2y ĵ 3 3x î 3y ĵ Resultant R Rx î + ĵ Rx (1x 2x + 3x ) ( 1y + 2y 3y ) x * Using Scalar Notation ( y) positie + Rx 1x 2x 3x 1y + 2y Resultant R 3y Rx +

13 In general where R Rx î + Rx x ĵ y Sign Conention: components with directional sense along (+e) axis are positie scalar. components with directional sense along ( e) axis are negatie scalar. and ice ersa the component means along +e axis. Signs of the components of the resultant specify their sense. - Sketch components Rx & Using Pythagorean theorem Resultant magnitude + R 2 Rx 2 Direction angle θ orientation direction & sense from trigonometry θ tan 1 Rx
