IE 111 Statics, Tutorial Sheet 02

1. Object A is defined below by a position vector rA = 30 m. Object B is at position


vector rB = 50 m. Calculate the position of B relative to A, ie rBA = rB - rA.

2. Vector A below is a force acting at the origin whose magnitude is 35 N. B is 45


N.
a. Express vectors A and B in vector form, ie A = Axi + Ayj + Azk.
b. Calculate the resultant force at the origin and express it in vector form.
c. Calculate the coordinate angles of the resultant force, ie , , and .

3. Vector A is 45 N and B is 65 N. A third vector C will be added to the system so


that the resultant vector, R = A + B + C, has a magnitude of 70 N and coordinate
angles [, , ] = [105, 5, 98]. Calculate the magnitude and direction of C.
