Tutorial 1

This document contains a tutorial on applied mechanics with solutions to 6 exercises. The exercises involve calculating forces and force components using vector notation. The solutions show resolving forces into Cartesian x and y components, setting the component equations equal to calculate missing values, and determining the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.

Applied Mechanics

EXERCISE 1
The post is to be pulled out of the

ground using two ropes A and B. rope


A is subjected to a force of 600 N and is
directed at 60o from the horizontal. If
the resultant force acting on the post is
to be 1200 N vertically upward,
determine the force T in the rope B
and the corresponding angle .
