2.42 Determine the resultant of the two forces acting at
point O. Scale: 1/2 = 100#.

2.43 Determine the resultant of the three forces shown


acting on the anchor device. Use the tip-to-tail graphical
method in your solution. Follow a sequence of A-B-C.
Scale: 50 mm = 1 kN or 1 mm = 20 N.

2.44 A pile resists the tension developed by three stay cables for a major tent (membrane) structure. Assuming no
bending is desired in the pile (no resultant horizontal component), what is the magnitude of the force S if the angle
S = 30?
If the pile resists with a capacity of 500# per square foot of
embedded surface, what is the required penetration h for
the pile? Scale: 1 = 8 k.
