Question

A force F=20 kN is acting on a cantilever beam at an angle 0 = 40°. Find its vertical and horizontal components.

Answer 1

Horizontal components = 15320.89N

vertical component = 12855.75N

Step-by-step explanation:

we use the concept of trigonometry to solve it

To get the vertical component we use : Sin 40° = y/20000

20, 000sin 40 = y

= 12855.75N

horizontal components: Cos 40 = x/20 000

20000cos 40 = x

= 15 320.89 N
