Concept explainers
The component of the force along the guy wires which is larger.
Answer to Problem 100A
Perpendicular component with respect to the ground.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The guy wire makes an angle of
Formula used:
If a force is acting along a direction at an angle
The component acting along the horizontal is,
The component acting perpendicular to the horizontal in an upward direction,
Calculation:
Now, it is given that the force is acting the guy wire that makes an angle of
Then, the component acting along the horizontal is,
And, the component acting along the vertical is,
Conclusion:
Thus, the perpendicular component of the force in the wire is larger.
