Three forces are acting on a column and are concurrent at point A.
• The magnitudes of the forces are F1 = 300 N, F2= 200N and F3 = 100 N.
• The line of action of F1 runs from point A to B expressed in Cartesian coordinates.
· F2 has an elevation angle of 30° from the x-y plane. The projection of F2 on the x-y
plane has a 50° transverse angle from the (-)y-axis.
F3 is expressed in coordinate direction angles of a3 = 45°, ß3 = 60°, with
Y3 > 90°.
