1.
The force F has a magnitude of 80 lb and acts within the volume shown.
Determine the magnitudes of the x, y, and z components of F.
(15 points)
Write down the direction cosines first, and use them to find the magnitudes. We have ,
, but no yet, so start by finding .
cos2 + cos2 +cos2 = 1
= 60 also
Now magnitudes are

= 80 cos 60 = 40 lb
= 80 cos 45 = 56.6 lb
= 80 cos 60 = 40 lb

Determine the magnitude of the projected component of force F along the pole.
(15 points)
AO = [-3i + 2j -6k]
and its magnitude is
32 + 22 + 62
1/7[-3i + 2j -6k]
=31.4 lb

4.
Two men exert forces of F = 80 lb and P = 50 lb on the ropes. Determine the
moment of each force about A. Will the pole rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
(20 points)
P and F both can be resolved into vertical and horizontal components. The vertical
components pass through A and contribute zero moment. Therefore, we only consider
the horizontal components.
MP = P . cos 45 . 18 = 636 ft.lb (acw)
MF = F . 4/5 .12
MTOTAL

(or, using r ^ F, for force F,
r = 0i + 12j + 0k
