Cap2001 Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Can anybody tell me how I can use the method of joints here? I know force T (22900) and force Weng (24525). I also know that I should start in point 5 I can't figure out what my equilibrium equations should look like. Fx= 0 en Fy=0
swansont Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 What is the question that accompanies this drawing?
Country Boy Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 I would write every vector in terms of components. T= <-22900, 0>, Weng= <0, -24525>. The sum of those two forces is <-22900, -24525> and the two forces, "45" and "35" must offset that. Taking the force in vector "45" to be "x" and in vector "35" to be "y" we have "45"= <0, x> and "35"= <0.6y/1.34, 1.2y/1.34>= <0.45y, 0.90y>. The sum of those is <0.45y, x+ 0.90y> and that must equal <22900, 24525> so we have 0.45y= 22900 and x+ 0.90y= 24525. From the first y= 22900/0.45= 50,889. Then the second is x+ 45800= 24525 so x= 24525- 45800= -21275. So vector "45" is <0, -21275> and "35" is <50899(.45), 50899(.90)>= <22904.55, 45809.1>. The others are done the same way.
