STATICS Problem Set 1 - Components of a Force

Problem 1: Determine the x and y components of each of the forces shown. Problem 2: Compute the x and y components of each of the forces shown. Problem 3: The body of an incline is subjected to the vertical and horizontal forces shown. Find the components of each force along x-y axes oriented parallel and perpendicular to the incline. Problem 4: Referring to the figure shown, determine the components of force F and P along the x-y axes which are parallel and perpendicular to the incline. Problem 5: The body on the 30° incline is acted upon by a force P inclined at 20° with the horizontal. If P is resolved into components parallel and perpendicular to the incline, and the value of the parallel component is 300N, compute the value of the perpendicular component and of P. Problem 6: In the figure shown, the x component of P is 893N. Determine P and its y component.
