Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around determining a missing angle in a system of concurrent parallel forces, specifically focusing on the components of the forces involved. The original poster has provided values for two forces and is seeking assistance with the third angle.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants have suggested adding the components of the vectors to find the resultant force. There are questions regarding how to incorporate the missing angle into the calculations for the resultant force.

Discussion Status

The discussion appears to be ongoing, with participants providing guidance on how to approach the problem by focusing on vector components. There is no explicit consensus on the missing angle, and multiple interpretations of the problem are being explored.

Contextual Notes

There is a mention of a picture that may provide additional context, but it is not accessible in the thread. The original poster has expressed difficulty in finding the missing angle, which is critical for completing the calculations.

I have a problem where i have found the angle for one line but i can't find the angle for the other. See attached picture i couldn't find how to add the picture to the post without a url for it. so far i have the x and y values for two line I am only missing the third line.
f1 = 1570 lb ^x 0 lb ^y
f2 = 532 lb ^x 1740 ^y i got 17 degrees as an angle for this line

add the components of the vectors
 
without the angle i wouldn't be able to add Fr it would be FRCOs? FrSIn? how am i supposed to add that??
 
add the x components of the first two vectors (this is the x component of the Fr vector)

add the y components

these two are your components of the Fr vector
