Question 1

Three cables exert forces on a bracket as shown.

(i)If the resultant of the forces has a magnitude of 400N and a line of action along the aa axis find the magnitude and direction, ?, of force, F3, in the third cable.

(ii)Sketch the arrangement of the three applied forces relative to x-y coordinate axes.

(iii)Write the three applied forces in Cartesian form.

The Cartesian form is expressed in the i, j and k form.
