Forces in Space ? …The forces are called in space as long as they
are not contained in one plane.
Concurrent Forces
(5)
►Three space forces act
on a bracket. It is
required to replace them
by an equivalent effect
at O.

2 Force ( F ) in Vector Form
► Consider a force F acting at the origin O
of the orthogonal rectangular frame. The
angle defines the plane containing
F
while θy defines the position of F in that plane.
►► Resolve F into horizontal and
vertical components:
Therefore: F Fxî Fy ˆj Fz k̂ Force in vector form
Where: Fx , Fy , Fz are called Rectangular Components of F
θx , θy , θz are called the direction angles of F
cos θx , cos θy , cos θz are the direction cosines
î , ˆj , k̂ are the unit vectors along x, y, and z, respectively

Example (2) Second Method
Solution:
► Force F1 z
The
angles 60 and 45 defining the direction of
F1 are not direction angles. Therefore, we must
use the geometry to resolve this force.
As shown: F1 is resolved into F1y and F1h. Then, F1y
F1h is resolved into F1x and F1z:
F1x
F1y= 100 sin 60 = +86.6 lb F1h
and F1h= 100 cos 60= 50 lb

In many applications, the forces are applied along certain defined directions.
● For example the tension in the chain AB is directed through the shown
direction where the two points A and B are well defined.
● Also, the force in the cable AB is directed as shown.
(16)
Position Vector
►The position vector ( rB / A ) is the vector that specifies the position
of point B with respect to point A. In other words, the position of
B as seen from point A. It is drawn from A to B.
y y
rB / A
rB / A y B y A ˆj
z B z A kˆ
x x
xB xA iˆ
O O
z z
rA rA / O x Aiˆ y A ˆj z A kˆ and rB rB / O x B iˆ y B ˆj z B kˆ
rB / A rB rA
rB / A ( x B x A )iˆ ( y B y A ) ˆj ( z B z A )kˆ
Note that if a force F is applied along AB and directed from A to B,
then, both F and rB / A will have the same unit vector.

4 Equilibrium of Concurrent Forces F2 F1
Consider a particle A under the A
action of several space forces:
F1 , F2 , …… , Fn.
Fn
■ Find the resultant R, then: F3
If R is R Rx iˆ R y ˆj Rz kˆ ►the particle will move along
a space curve.
If R Rx iˆ R y ˆj 0 ►the particle will move along a
curvilinear pass contained in xy plane
If R Rx iˆ 0 0 ►the particle will perform a
rectilinear motion along x direction.

Think over!!!
● Determine the location of point C such that the
two tensions will have the same value and find
the tension in this case (distance 1.2 is kept constant).
● If the distance 1.2 is required to be doubled,
find P, T1, and T2 in this case (same cables lengths).
Comment on theobtained results.
● If the two points B and C coincide at one point,
determine the location of this point such that
the particle keeps its equilibrium in the shown
position (consider variable lengths of cables).
