Forces(5N, 030), (PN, 060), (QN, 150), (3N, 180) and (5N, 270) act on a body . If the system is in quilibrium, find, correct to one decimal place, the values of P and Q
Explanation
They were expected to resolve the forces vertically and horizontally to have; () + () + () + () + () = () which simplifies to; () = () This will yield two equations to be solved, the equations are 0.866P + 0.5Q = 2.5 and 0.5P - 0.866Q = -1.33 When these equations are solved, they will give P = 1.5 and Q = 2.4019
