READABLE. You do not have to write the given and required.

1. Determine the angle α between the wooden struts

AB and AC so that the 400N horizontal force has a
component of 600N which acts up to the left, it the
same direction as from B towards A. Use ϴ=30⁰
Write the rectangular representation of P.

400N
ϴ

2. The three forces are applied to the bracket.

Determine the range of values for the magnitude of
force P so that the resultant of the three forces does
not exceed 2400N.

3000N
800N
90⁰

60⁰

3. There are three forces with the following

rectangular representation:
F1= 8i – 6j
F2=-5i
F3=4i+3j
Replace all the forces by a single force P and its angle
from the +Y axis counter-clockwise direction.
