MAE 241 – STATICS SUMMER 2009 K. SIERROS HOMEWORK SET 2 DUE : TUESDAY, 26 MAY 2009
1) Determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the bracket and its direction measured counterclockwise from the positive u axis.
2) The device is used for surgical replacement of the knee joint. If the force acting along the leg is 360 N, determine its components along the x and y' axes.
3) Resolve F1 into components along the u and υ axes and determine the magnitudes of these components.
4) If the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the eyebolt is 600 N and its direction measured clockwise from the positive x axis is θ = 30o , determine the magnitude of F1 and the angle Φ
5) Determine the magnitude of F1 and its direction θ so that the resultant force is directed vertically upward and has a magnitude of 800 N.
