Three chains act on the bracket in such a way as to generate a resultant force of 2224 N. If two of the chains are subjected to known forces (P1 and P2) as shown in the figure, determine the orientation Ѳ of the third chain, measured clockwise, from the positive x axis, so that the magnitude of the force, F, on this chain is minimal. All forces lie in the x - y plane. What is the magnitude of F? TIP: First find the resultant of the two known forces, the force F acts in this direction. Note: P1 = 400 lb and P2 = 300 lb

Three chains act on the bracket in such a way as to generate a resultant force of 2224 N. If two of the chains are subjected to known forces (P1 and P2) as shown in the figure, determine the orientation Ѳ of the third chain, measured clockwise, from the positive x axis, so that the magnitude of the force, F, on this chain is minimal. All forces lie in the x - y plane. What is the magnitude of F? TIP: First find the resultant of the two known forces, the force F acts in this direction.
