Homework SET 1 – MAE 241 Statics – Summer 2009 – K. Sierros 1) If θ = 60o and T = 5kN, determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the eyebolt and its direction measured clockwise from the positive x axis
2) Resolve F1 into components along the u and υ axes and determine the magnitudes of these components.
3) The beam is to be hoisted using two chains. Determine the magnitudes of forces FA and FB acting on each chain in order to develop a resultant force of 600 N directed along the positive y axis. Set θ = 45o.
