idk what category this falls under

#

idr know whats going on in the key

#

can anyone explain it a little bit more?

#

its kinda all over the place and too messy for my brain

dapper girder
#

i can help

#

i think

#

so you need to find the hypotenuse of the vertical and horizontal components

#

the horizontal forces are equal to eachother as are the vertical

#

first do you understand the finding the angles part

#

i get what shes doing until she writesfrom this part and below

#

so yes i understand how she got theta 1 and 2

#

and i understand that f1+f2+f3=0 and that f1+f2=-f3

dapper girder
#

let me get a sheet of paper

tawdry geyser
#

also why cant i just do -f1cos(7/25)

#

for the x commponent of f1

#

why do i need the tan thing

#

nvm i get that

#

dont explain that

#

ok actually

#

i understand everything in the key now

#

except one thing

#

@dapper girder

#

did she switch

#

from -15 to 15 in the matrix

dapper girder
#

sorry

#

had to do something

#

the reason it’s negative is because it’s in the opposite direction

#

that’s what im starting with

#

@tawdry geyser does that make sense

tawdry geyser
#

i got it

#

thanks

#

no worries

dapper girder
#

sorry if i wasn’t helpful i got a million things going on

tawdry geyser
#

i got it myself tho bc im kinda impatient but maybe i should have just not posted it
