Determine the magnitude of the resultant force and its direction measured counterclockwise
from the positive x axis.
Consider two springs AB and AD and a Cable AC as shown in the figure. The two springs
have the same original length Lo = 450 mm and spring the constants are: kAB = 1.4 N/mm and
kAD = 0.6 N/mm. Determine the weight of the Block.

Problem 3: (25 Pts)
Determine the moment of force F=300 N about the x, the y, and the z axes. Solve the
problem using:
a) Vector analysis.
b) Scalar analysis.
If the weight of the crate w=200lb, determine the tension developed in each of the cables AB
and AC and the compression developed along strut AD.
