In ig., the two forces are resolved into components. writing equilirium equations in terms of the components,,, and, show that the two forces and are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and directed along the line etween their points of application. h (a) h () Solution: The sum of forces: X = X + X =0, from which X = X Y = Y + Y =0, h ig a from which Y =. These last two equations show that and are equal and opposite in direction, (if the components are equal and opposite, the vectors are equal and opposite). To show that the two vectors act along the line connecting the two points, determine the angle of the vectors relative to the positive -ais. The sum of the moments aout is ig M = (h) =0, from which the angle of direction of is ( ) ( ) tan 1 Y h = tan 1 = α. X or (180 + α ). Similarl, sustituting : ( ) ( ) tan 1 Y h = tan 1 = α, X or (180 + α ). ut ) α = tan 1 ( h descries direction of the line from to. The two vectors are opposite in direction, therefore the angles of direction of the vectors is one of two possiilities: is directed along the line from to, and is directed along the same line, oppositel to.

Prolem 5.137 To determine the location of the point where the weight of a car acts (the center of mass), an engineer places the car on scales and measures the normal reactions at the wheels for two values of α, otaining the following results: α (kn) (kn) 10 W 10.134 4.357 20 10.150 3.677 What are the distances and h? α 2.7 m h Solution: The position vectors of the cm and the point are r M =(2.7 )i + hj, r =2.7i. The angle etween the weight and the positive -ais is β = 270 α. The weight vector at each of the two angles is W 10 = W (i cos 260 + j sin 260 ) W 10 = W ( 0.1736i 0.9848j) W 20 = W (i cos 250 + j sin 250 ) or W 20 = W ( 0.3420i 0.9397j) The weight W is found from the sum of forces: Y = Y + Y + W sin β =0, from which W β = Y + Y. sin β Taking the values from the tale of measurements: W 10 = 10.134+4.357 sin 260 =14.714 kn, These two simultaneous equations in two unknowns were solved using the HP- 28S hand held calculator. =1.80 m, h =0.50 m α W 2.7 m h [check :W 20 = 10.150+3.677 sin 250 =14.714 kn check] The moments aout are M = r M W + r =0.
