The magnitude of one of the forces is T2 = 80 kN. Find the rectangular representation of T2. *
The magnitude of one of the forces is T2 = 80KN. Find the rec tan gular representation of T2.
T2 = (-22.86 i + 34.29 / + 68.57 k) N
T2 = (-22.86 i – 34.29 j + 68.57 k) N
T2 = (22.86 i - 34.29 j + 68.57 k) N
T2 = (22.86 i- 34.29 /-68.57 k) N
