    1. The problem provides a diagram showing cables AC and AB with known tensions and lengths. 2. To find the angle between cables AC and AB, the cosine of the angle is calculated using the scalar product of the vectors representing each cable divided by their magnitudes. 3. To find the projection of cable AC onto cable AB, the scalar product of the vectors for cable AC and the unit vector in the direction of cable AB is calculated.

    1. Calculate the angle formed by two vectors. Express the vectors
    in terms of their components. The cosine of the desired angle is
    obtained by dividing the scalar product of the two vectors by the
    product of their magnitudes.

    2. Compute the projection of a vector P on a given line OL.
    Express the vector P and the unit vector l in the direction of the
    line in component form. The required projection is equal to the
    scalar product P.l. If the angle q formed by P and l is known, the
    projection is also given by P cos q.
    y Problem 3.150 Solution
    2.4 m D Calculate the angle formed by
    1.2 m two vectors.
    3m
    (a) First note:
    C
    AC = (_ 2.4)2 + (0.8)2 + (1.2)2
    A
    2.6 m B
    = 2.8 m
    P 1.8 m
    z 2.4 m AB = (_ 2.4)2 + (_ 1.8)2 + ( 0 )2

    x = 3.0 m
    and

    _
    AC = (2.4 m) i + (0.8 m) j + (1.2 m) k

    _
    AB = (2.4 m) i _ (1.8 m) j
    y Problem 3.150 Solution
    2.4 m D
    1.2 m
    3m

    C
    A By definition:
    2.6 m B
    AC . AB = (AC) (AB) cos q
    P 1.8 m
    z 2.4 m

    x
    (_ 2.4 i + 0.8 j + 1.2 k) . (_ 2.4 i _ 1.8 j) = (2.8)(3.0) cos q

    (_ 2.4)(_ 2.4) + (0.8)(_ 1.8) + (1.2)(0) = 8.4 cos q

    cos q = 0.51429 q = 59.1o


    y Problem 3.150 Solution
    2.4 m D Compute the projection of a
    1.2 m
    3m vector on a given line.

    lAB (TAC )AB = TAC . lAB
    P 1.8 m
    z 2.4 m = TAC cos q
    x
    = (1260 N) (0.51429)

    (TAC )AB = 648 N
