    Lecture 4

    Faculty of Mechanical Engineering


    Position Vector
    A position vector r is defined as a fixed vector which
    locates a point in space relative to another point.

    A(4, 2, -6)

    B(6, -1, 4)
    Thus, the i, j, k components of the
    position vector r may be formed by
    taking the coordinates of the tail of the
    vector A(xA, yA, zA) and subtracting
    them from the corresponding
    coordinates of the head B(xB, yB, zB)
    Example 2.10
    An Elastic band is attached to points A and B as
    shown in the Fig.. Determine its length and its
    direction measured from A toward B.
    Problem 2-90
    The 8-m-long cable is anchored to the ground at A.
    If x =4 m and y =2 m, determine the coordinate z to
    the highest point of attachment along the column.
    Force Vector Directed Along a Line
    three-dimensional statics problems, the direction of a
    force is specified by two points through which its line of
    action passes
    Example 2.11
    The man pulls on the cord with a force of 70 lb.
    Represent this force acting on the support A as a
    Cartesian vector and determine its direction
    Problem 2-87
    Express force F as a Cartesian vector; then determine
    its coordinate direction angles
    Problem 2-103
    Determine the magnitude and coordinate direction
    angles of the resultant force
    Dot Product/Scalar Product
    Applications.

    1- The angle formed between two vectors or intersecting lines.

    2- The components of a vector parallel and perpendicular to a


    line.
    Example 2.15
    The frame is subjected to a horizontal force F=300j,
    Determine the magnitude of the components of this force
    parallel and perpendicular to member AB.
