I've been all over that just never did it quite like that. I don't know why I didnt even think of that. gahh...I hate it when it's something simple like that :mad:

I think that's going to be it! Thanks!

Holy crap! I could of swore I've done this before but I think I finally got it right. Lemme work it out neatly and post it up!

Here's what I have. Somebody PLEASE show me what I'm doing wrong!

I got 67.4kN. I'll scan it and post up the work tomorrow morning so someone can tell me what I did wrong.

So set up into 2 equations is it... 200cos@ = |Fa|1.88 200sin@ = |Fa|2.45 ? when that's worked out it comes to 64.7 which isn't quite right.

I'm workin on it.

How are you getting that answer?

I keep getting 47.09kN for the magnitude of Fa. I think the answer in the book is wrong.

I have A, B, and C broken down to x and y components. Now what?

Could someone work that out a bit more. I'm just not seeing it:(

Anybody? I found the answer...68.2kN but I have no idea how to get that.

Statics: Magnitude of vectors HELP! Could someone just tell me how to start this problem. I can't seem to think of anything right now.
