SOLUTION :


Let us use u for “phi” symbol.


Now,


∑Fx = 0

=> F1 cos(u) + 500 cos(60) - 450 * 3/5 - 1600 cos(30) = 0

=> F1 cos(u) - 1405.64 = 0 

=> F1 cos(u) = 1405.64 (N) .......... (1)


∑Fy = 0

=> 1600 sin(30) + F1sin(u) - 500 sin(60) - 450 * 4/5 = 0

=> F1 sin(u) + 6.99 = 0

=> F1 sin(u) = - 6.99 …………… (2)


Doing (1) / (2), we get, cot (u) = 1405.64/(-6.99) = - 201.70 

=> u = phi = acot (- 201.70) = - 0.2848º 


Direction of F1 is at 0.2848º measured clockwise from x-axis

(ANSWER).


Now,


F1 = 1405.64 / cos(-0.2848) = 1405.66 (N) (ANSWER)
