Question: In ( Figure 1 ) , F = { 7 0 i + 3 0 j + 2 0 k } lb . Figure 1

In (Figure 1), F={70i+30j+20k}lb
.
Figure1 of 1
In the x y z space, a pole lying on the positive z axis is attached to a floor by its bottom end at the origin. Its free end 'A' is at 8 feet from the origin. The pole is fastened to the floor by two cables, 'A' B and 'A' C. Point B is in the x y plane 4 feet from the positive x axis and 5 feet from the negative y axis. Point C is in the x y plane, 4 feet from the positive y axis and 3 feet from the negative x axis. A force F acts at point 'A'.
