    I am a first year engineering student. your videos make statics and dynamics of mechanics so much easier and intuitive. This is the toughest subject for me to study because proceeding in these problems isn't very "natural" to me, but i felt sooooo relieved when i found your channel .... really good content, and i can't thank you enough for your help in uploading these videos for free.

      I’m thrilled to hear that you’re finding the videos helpful in your studies! It’s always rewarding to know that the content is making a difference. Remember, it’s perfectly normal to find these topics tough at first, but with consistent practice and study, it will become more intuitive. Keep up the great work!

    In example 2, I heard you say the the negative sign means that the components points in the opposite direction of the unit vectors. The way I observed the picture, and based on the problem I solved, it seem like we can think of as the vector for Force AB pointing towards point B, and the vector for Force AC pointing towards point C.

    Hi sir I have a question, in your previous video called “force vectors along a line | learn to solve any question” at 5.47 you find the magnitude of the force from the Cartesian by doing the square root of the 12 squared, the 9 squared and the 8 squared to find the mag then times this by the unit vector to equal the force. And I don’t understand why we don’t use this same concept at 3.34 where u times the unit vector not by the magnitude but by the different components of force F to find the force along the cables.

    • @Hadron11112
      @Hadron11112 Před 4 měsíci

      Is it because in this example we have 2 cables instead of one? I still don’t really understand, thanks for any help

    • @QuestionSolutions
      @QuestionSolutions  Před 4 měsíci

      Here, this question is related to projected components. We are given a force expressed in cartesian form and we are told to figure out the projected components of that force along each cable. So we use a different method. The process is pretty much the same as before, but instead of multiplying a scalar force value by the unit vector to get a cartesian force, we are already given a cartesian force so we take the dot product between each component and the unit vector. So in other words, we are getting a scalar force value for each cable. We aren't expressing it in cartesian form.

    • @QuestionSolutions

      Please see 0:33. We are doing the same thing, taking the dot product. The only difference is, instead of it being about an axis, we do it about a specific cable (in this case, that is our axis).

      Are you writing position vectors? You have to use the letter "r" to represent a position vector. So instead of bold, you can write rAB with an arrow on top. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_(geometry)
