Four forces are acting at a point P in equilibrium as shown in figure. The ratio of force F1 to F2 is 1:x where x=_____ .

Solution

Here, θ=45°

Applying equilibrium conditions,

Taking components along x & y

Considering right side positive, Fx=0

F1+1sin45°-2sin45°=0F1=2sin45°-1sin45°

F1=2-12=2-12=12

Taking upward positive,Fy=0

1cos45°+2cos45°-F2=0F2=1cos45°+2cos45°

F2=2+12=2+12=32

F1:F2=1:3

x=3
