Consider the three displacement vectors = (−2î− 3ĵ) m, = (4î − 5ĵ) m, and = (−6î + 5ĵ) m.
Use the component method to determine the following. (Take the +x direction to be to the right.)
If the displacement of a point along x-axis is u = 3 mm and the displacement along y-axis is v = 2 mm, and if “t” is an axis making an angle of 30o in the clockwise direction with respect to x-axis, what would be the displacements of this point ut and vn along the orthogonal axes “t” and “n”, respectively?
Select one:
ut = 3.598 mm and vn = 0.232 mm
ut = 0.232 mm and vn = 3.598 mm
ut = 3.232 mm and vn =1.598 mm
ut = 1.598 mm and vn = 3.232 mm
Given ϕ=xy+yz+xzϕ=xy+yz+xz, find gradient ϕ at point (1, 2, 3).
