Question

As shown, an L-shaped bar is supported by a pin at joint A. The bar's dimensions are a = 610mm and b = 320mm , and the bar is subjected to a force with magnitude F = 5.35kN at joint B. Ignoring the bar's weight, find the actual orientation of the applied force. What is the value of the angle ??

Explanation / Answer

theta = arctan(b/a) = arctan(320/610) = 27.7 degrees
