Question

Given:        P = 35 kN; θ = 15°; α = 75°What is the b-component (kN) of P.QUESTION 4ANSWERA.20.59B.10.59C.31.38D.9.38

Solution

The b-component of a force can be calculated using the formula:

Pb = P * sin(θ)

Given that P = 35 kN and θ = 15°, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Pb = 35 * sin(15°)

First, we need to convert the angle from degrees to radians because the sin function in most programming languages and calculators uses radians, not degrees.

1 degree = 0.0174533 radians

So, 15° = 15 * 0.0174533 = 0.261799 radians

Now, we can calculate Pb:

Pb = 35 * sin(0.261799)

This gives us Pb = 9.38 kN

So, the correct answer is D. 9.38 kN.
