    Tutorial 2:

    Question 1:

    Find angle α and express the force F = 400kN as Cartesian vector.

    400kN

    Figure 1

    Answer:
    Apply 3D-Relation Equation:
    cos2α + cos2 β + cos2 γ = 1
    cos2α + cos2 60˚ + cos2 45˚ = 1
    cos2α = 1 − cos2 60˚ − cos2 45˚
    cos α = (1 − cos2 60˚ − cos2 45˚)0.5
    α = cos-1 (0.5) = 60˚

    Force F in Cartesian Vector:


    F = F cos αi + F cos βj + F cos γk
    F = {400 cos 60˚i + 400 cos 60˚j + 400 cos 45˚k} kN
    F = {200i + 200j +282.8k} kN

    Question 2:

    Determine the length and direction of a cable measured from A towards B as shown in Figure

    Answer:
    Coordinate A & B:
    A = {3i − 2j + 0k} m
    B = {−3i + 4j + 3k} m
    rAB = rB – rA
    = {(−3i + 4j + 3k) − (3i − 2j + 0k)} m
    = {−6i +6j + 3k} m
