Problem 3.

35

Given the vectors P = 2i + 3j – k, Q = 5i – 4j + 3k, and S = –3i + 2j – 5k,

compute the scalar products P · Q, P · S, and Q · S.


Problem 3.39

Knowing that the tension in cable AC is 280 lb, determine (a) the angle between cable AC and the boom AB, (b) the
projection on AB of the force exerted by cable AC at point A.
Problem 3.47

A crane is oriented so that the end of the 25-m boom AO lies in the yz plane. At the instant shown, the tension in
cable AB is 4 kN. Determine the moment about each of the coordinate axes of the force exerted on A by cable AB.
Problem 3.57

The frame ACD is hinged at A and D and is supported by a cable that passes through a ring at B and is attached to
hooks at G and H. Knowing that the tension in the cable is 450 N, determine the moment about the diagonal AD of
the force exerted on the frame by portion BH of the cable.
