Find the forces
The forces
Answer to Problem 2.14P
The forces in right hand systems are
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The following system of forces is given,
and the resultant of both force systems are the same.
Calculation:
The forces applied can be written in vector notation as,
Since resultant of both the force systems is the same, hence,
Compare the components to get the following equations,
Solve equation (1-3) to get
Conclusion:
Therefore, the forces in the right hand systems are
