(15 points) The crate is in equilibrium due to the forces in each cord. Answer the
following questions:
(a) Convert the weight of the crate into kips. )=(0.22481lb
(b) Express the unit vector of force FB exerted at point A by cord AB as a Cartesian vector.
(round your answers to three decimal place)
{-0.667i+0.333j+0.667k}
(c) Find the coordinate direction angles ,, and of the force FB.
=131.8=70.53=48.19
(d) Express the force FB as a Cartesian vector.
{-240i+120j+240k}1b
(e) Express the force FC exerted at point A by cord AC as a Cartesian vector.
{-120i-120j+60k}lb
(f) Express the force FD exerted at point A by cord AD as a Cartesian vector.
{-360i}lb
