Question

2. Two forces are applied as shown in figure 2 to a hook support. Knowing that the magnitude
of P is 35 N, determine (a) the required angle if the resultant R of the two forces applied to
the support is to be horizontal (b) the corresponding magnitude of R. (a=37.1° & R=73.2 N)​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) the required angle

α

is the resultant

R

of the two forces applied to the support is to be horizontal,

b) the corresponding magnitude of

R

.
