⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch2  Problem Statement 2/158 The combined action of the three forces on the base at may be obtained by establishing their resultant through . Determine the magnitudes of and the accompanying couple . Problem 2/158 1. Vector Representation of the Forces Based on the coordinate system shown in the figure (where is vertical, is forward-left, and is forward-right), we can express each force as a Cartesian vector: Force : Magnitude is , acting in the negative -direction. Force : Magnitude is , acting in the negative -direction. Force : Magnitude is , acting in the -plane at an angle of from the - axis towards the -axis. 2. Points of Application We identify the position vectors for each force's point of application relative to the origin : Force : Applied at the elbow between the -segment and the -segment. Force : Applied at the very end of the pipe assembly. Force : Applied at the origin .
