The guy wire of the electrical pole shown in makes 60° to the horizontal and is carrying a force of 60 kN. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force. |
|
Answer» Shows the resolution of force F = 20 kN into its components in horizontal and vertical components. From the figure it is clear that Fx = F cos 60° = 20 cos 60° = 10 kN (to the left) Fy = F sin 60° = 20 sin 60° = 17.32 kN (downward) |
