Identify all the forces that are acting on the object lb 60 o 30 o R S Equilibrium R + S + W = 0 W

Find the direction of R. 60 o R R = |R|[(cos )i + (sin )j ] 30 o In quadrant II, a 30 o reference angle is 150 o (180 – 30 = 150) R = |R|[(cos 150 o )i + (sin 150 o )j ]

30 o S S = |S|[(cos )i + (sin )j ] 60 o In quadrant I, a 60 o reference angle is S = |S|[(cos 60 o )i + (sin 60 o )j ] Find the direction of S.

270 o W W = |W|[(cos )i + (sin )j ] W = |W|[(cos 270 o )i + (sin 270 o )j ] Find the direction of W. Remember, |W| = 1000 W = 1000[(cos 270 o )i + (sin 270 o )j ] and cos 270 o = 0 and sin 270 o = -1 W = -1000j
