⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch2  Problem Statement 2/103 If the scalar projection of F onto line OA is 0, determine the scalar projection of F onto line OB. Use a value of b = 6 ft. Problem 2/103 1. Express Force in Cartesian Vector Form From the given figure, the force has a magnitude of . Its orientation is defined by two angles: The angle with the positive -axis is . The angle of its projection on the plane with the positive -axis is . From the visual orientation, the projection points towards the negative -axis direction to satisfy the condition that its projection on is zero (since is in the positive quadrant). The components of are: Substituting : 2. Determine the height using the first condition The scalar projection of onto line is zero. Point has coordinates .
