The code that you have for scalars is actually already pretty close to what you need. Instead of having n be a scalar, you are going to want to set up n to be a vector [36 48 60]. From there, all you need to do in the code, is anytime that you are wanting it to do scalar multiplication or...

Thanks for looking it over.

Homework Statement If at some time t, the position of B (the intersection between bodies B1 and B2) is located directly below the connection between bodies B2 and B3. B is moving to the right at a speed of Vb. What happens to the instantaneous center of B2, and what can this tell you about...

Thanks for looking it over, and pointing out the friction error on my part. The overall error may end up being an error in the solution provided maybe? The solution listed is 765-lb for the force between the ground and the truck.

1. Problem statement: A 5000-lb truck is being used to lift a 1000-lb boulder B that is on a 200-lb pallet. Knowing the acceleration of the truck is 1 ft/s^2, determine the horizontal force between the tires and ground. The truck is on a horizontal plane with the boulder and pallet...
