Students have asked these similar questions

Plot the magnitude of the resultant R of the three forces as a function of θ for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 360°. After you have the plot, determine the value of θ which makes the magnitude R of the resultant of the three loads (a) a maximum and (b) a minimum. Record the magnitude of the resultant in each case. Use values of ϕ= 64° ψ= 21°, F1 = 75 N, F2 = 126 N, F3 = 71 N.

find the resultant for forces. F=635 N, F2=468 N, F3=254 N F1 F2 F3 45°

Three forces act at point O. If it is known that the y-component of the resultant R is -3.9 kN and that the z-component is 3.0 kN, determine F3, 0, and R. Answers: F2 = 5.0 kN F₁ = 4.3 KN F3= KN 0 = R = KN
