Answer to Question #140562 in Mechanics | Relativity for James Hameem

Question

If θ = 60 ⁰ and T = 5kN , determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on the eyebolt and its direction measured clockwise from the positive x axis.

Answer 1

The resultant force is $Tcos \theta =5\cdot0.5=2.5$ kN.

Its direction is 0° from the positive x-axis.
