Forces and equilibrium of body in three dimensions

Forces on body in 3 dimensions (space)

In the space we can use the same 2 D equations also by adding the Z axis.

The vecor F is contained in the plane OBAC as in the figure above

Now we can resolve this vecor into horizontal and vertical components

Also in plane OECD we can resolve Fh into rectangular components

In x axis

And Y axis

Example

Example: The tension in the guy

wire is 2500 N. Determine:
a) components Fx, Fy, Fz of the
force acting on the bolt at A,
b) the angles qx, qy, qz defining the
direction of the force

Based on the relative locations of the

points A and B, determine the unit
vector pointing from A towards B.
• Apply the unit vector to determine
the components of the force acting
on A.
• Noting that the components of the
unit vector are the direction cosines

for the vector, calculate the

corresponding angles.
