Height of a trapezoid:
h = 5 · sin 80° = 5 · 0.985 = 4.924
x = 5 · cos 80° = 5 · 0.17365 = 0.868
7 - x = 7 - 0.868 = 6.132
By the Pythagorean theorem:
d² = 6.132² + 4.924²
d² = 37.6 + 24.25
d² = 61.85
d = √61.85
d = 7.86 ≈ 8
Answer: The length of a diagonal brace is 8 feet.
I believe the answer is 21
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In a static position, the sum of the forces is always 0.
so:
F1 = 480 N
F2 = -600 N
F3 = ?
F1 + F2 + F3 = 0
480 - 600 + F3 = 0
F3 = 120 N (the answer is positive, so the force acts in the same direction as F1)
The difference (-) between 3 times a number (3n) and 21.
3n - 21
