Determine the magnitudes of the resultant force and its direction measured from the positive x axis.

R = 12.49 kN, = 43.9° CW
R = 13.6 kN, = 21.5° CW
R = 14.00 kN, = 60.0° CW
R = 10.80 kN, = 68.2° CW

Determine the design angle ( <90°) bretween the two struts so that the 500-lb horizontal force has a component of 600lb directed from A toward C. That is the component of force acting along member AB?

FAB = 321 lb, = 40.0°
FAB = 383 lb, = 36.9°
FAB = 171.1 lb, = 20.0°
FAB = 215 lb, = 52.7°

Determine the magnitude and direction of F so that this force has components of 40 lb acting from A toward B and 60lb acting from A toward C on the frame.

F = 44.7 lb, = 22.9°
F = 80.3 lb, = 46.2°
F = 62.9 lb, = 37.1°
F = 72.1 lb, = 56.3°
