Determine (a) the x, y, and z components of the force exerted by the cable on the anchor B, (b) the angles qx, qy, and qz defining the direction of that force. 1. Determine the rectangular components of a force defined by its magnitude and direction. If the direction of the force F is defined by the angles qy and f, projections of F through these angles or their components will yield the components of F.

Determine (a) the x, y, and z components of the force exerted by the cable on the anchor B, (b) the angles qx, qy, and qz defining the direction of that force. 2. Determine the direction cosines of the line of action of a force. The direction cosines of the line of action of a force F are determined by dividing the components of the force by F. cos qx= Fx F cos qy= Fy F cos qz= Fz F

Fy = + F cos qy = (3900 lb)(0.86154) Fy = + 3360 lb
Problem Solution A Determine the direction cosines of the line of action of a force. 65 ft qy From triangle AOB: cos qy = 56 ft 65 ft = qy = 30.51o F Fy 56 ft Fx O B (a) Fx = _ F sin qy cos 20o = _ (3900 lb) sin 30.51o cos 20o Fx = _1861 lb 20o Fz z x Fy = + F cos qy = (3900 lb)( ) Fy = lb Fz = + (3900 lb) sin 30.51o sin 20o Fz = lb
