    This document contains examples of graphically adding vectors with three or more forces. The first example shows two cables carrying 200# and 300# loads intersecting at a point, requiring the eyebolt to resist the resultant force. The second example shows three structural members exerting forces on a gusset plate that intersect at a point, requiring determining the resultant force on the plate graphically using a scale of 1 mm = 400 N.

    Example Problems: Graphical Addition of Three


    or More Vectors
    2.3 Two cables suspended from an eyebolt carry 200#
    and 300# loads as shown. Both forces have lines of action
    that intersect at point O, making this a concurrent force
    system. Determine the resultant force the eyebolt must resist. Do a graphical solution using a scale of 1 = 100#.

    Solution:

    2.4 Three structural members A, B, and C of a steel truss


    are bolted to a gusset plate as shown. The lines of action
    (line through which the force passes) of all three members
    intersect at point O, making this a concurrent force system. Determine graphically (parallelogram law or tip-totail) the resultant of the three forces on the gusset plate.
    Use a scale of 1 mm = 400 N.
    Note: The resultant must be denoted by a magnitude and
    direction.
