The origin is always where the x,y,z axes meet.

I am sorry, but that's something that won't happen on these videos. Solving for 2/3 unknowns is covered in high school mathematics and should be fundamental at his stage. If you are having trouble or you need a refresh, I highly encourage you to look up the methods needed to successfully do them. There are so many different videos on this subject on KZfaq :) It's like explaining and going through the steps of the Pythagorean theorem every time it's used. It's time consuming, extra work, and adds extra minutes to a video where that's not the main topic. I also believe many students already know how to do this, so to show these steps for every single problem in every single video is tedious and not efficient. The goal of these videos isn't to show how to solve equations, but rather, how to get those equations to begin with and how to apply the new material learned to solve a problem.

You do not need to add the 2m since we are only looking for the stretch. So you can set the original stretch to 0, and then see how much more it stretched after the weight was hung. If the question asked us to find the total length of the spring after the mass was hung, you would add the stretch to the 2 meters. Otherwise, for this question, it was just extra information that wasn't needed. It's the same as not caring about the length of the rope that's holding onto the crate.

So really, you are assuming a different direction for the force. That's fine, make sure to carry out the proper signs (positive/negative) until the very end, and if you get a negative answer, you know it's opposite to your assumption. 👍

How do we know what’s the direction of the force

So the question is asking for the stretch, in other words, if our original length was x, how much more did it stretch from that point. The 2 m given is unnecessary info, probably to confuse students, or for another part that shares the same question.

@@QuestionSolutions so, we can pretty much think of s as the change of displacement.

If the question asked us to find the total length of the spring after the mass was hung, you would add the stretch to the 2 meters.

@@QuestionSolutions ohh that makes sense thank you very much !

You have 2 equations with 2 unknowns, use any method you learned to solve them, substitution, elimination, graph them, etc.

What method did you use?

@@karellhyajervoso7979 For 99% of the problems, I use substitution. If it's more than 3 equations, I use a matrix. You can also use wolfram alpha to get a quick answer.

The same exact way that was done in the previous 2 questions. Point O is at (0i+0j+0k) and point C is at (6i+4j+12k). Then you subtract O from C as shown at 5:29. Then find the magnitude, divide each term of r_OC by the magnitude and then multiply it by the force. Please kindly see this video if you need more background: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eamVitxi0NPcfac.html I explain it step by step. Thanks! :)

Awesome! Best wishes on your course :)

So you have 3 equations with 3 unknowns. You can use any method you learned in high school to solve them, like using elimination, substitution, etc. You can even graph them to see where they intersect. Also, you can double check your answers using wolfram alpha. :)

Weight is not a position vector or a force along a line. It is simply weight expressed in cartesian form. It has just one component, that's a z-component (it's straight down). The other forces are all forces along ropes and have multiple components.

@@QuestionSolutions Thank you and one more thing, that means in such problems, I should take only the rope forces in three components, while writing the coordinates of the weight , only the vertically downward component are active, like along -Y( in 2D ) and along -Z( in 3D) , most of the time?

So first, I really need you to watch this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eamVitxi0NPcfac.html It explains forces along lines/ ropes. When you need to express a force in cartesian form that's along a line, you need to follow the steps outlined. Weight is always straight down. It will have just a z-component. In 2D, the weight is along the y-axis. @@aashu_tosh

Thanks! In 2-D, we have a vertical y-axis, and a horizontal x-axis. In 3-D, generally the vertical axis is the z-axis and the x-axis comes towards you, while the y-axis is horizontal. You can draw it however you like, it's up to you as long as you can follow through your own coordinates, you will get the same answers.

From the third equation, you can directly solve for FAB. Once you find FAB, plug it into the FY equation (2nd equation). Now you have 2 equations with 2 unknowns. You can solve them using the substitution method, or any method you're comfortable using. Here are some examples solved that way: kzfaq.infoHe7lrJEB04U?feature=share kzfaq.info86uENomd53U?feature=share kzfaq.info4euH1289_Kg?feature=share kzfaq.inforAlhrq5hWFc?feature=share Let me know if you need further clarifications. Thanks!

@@QuestionSolutions i am still confused. I just watched the videos you just recommended and i still don’t get it. I’m having a really hard time substituting.

I am not too sure how to help since it's hard to show these types of things over comments. Do you have a TA or a professor you can speak with during office hours to get help with algebra? Maybe this will help too? www.cuemath.com/algebra/substitution-method/ I'll try to do a simple example here. Let's say you have these two equations and you want to solve for x and y. 2x + y = 3 5x + 2y = 4 A way to solve it is to isolate for a variable in one of the equations. So let's isolate for "y" in the first equation. So all we did was subtract 2x from both sides and we get this: y = 3 - 2x Now we take this "y" value and plug it into the second equation. 5x + 2(3 - 2x) = 4 When we do that, notice we get an equation with just one variable. Here, that variable is "x". We can directly solve for "x" now. 5x + 6 - 4x = 4 x + 6 = 4 x = -2 Now that we figured out the "x" value, we can plug that value back into our first equation. 2x + y = 3 2(-2) + y = 3 Now we can solve for "y". y = 7 So our answers are x = -2 and y = 7. The process to solve using substitution is the same for all problems. They might seem more complicated, but the core of it is just isolating for one variable and plugging it into the other equation. @@Ijee12

Because the weight is translated onto the rope. In other words, the force in the rope is the weight of the pot.

Please see this video first: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eamVitxi0NPcfac.html where I show how to locate points.

Once you find FAB from the 3d equation, you can plug that value back into the other equations and solve. It's 2 equations with 2 unknowns, so use any technique you're comfortable with like elimination or substitution. Isolate for one variable and plug it back into the 2nd equation and solve. 👍

I am not sure of your question, sorry! Do you think you can give me a timestamp that's referring to a specific spot?

So you can solve them like you would any 3 equations with 3 unknowns. Using substitution or elimination. I think it's probably hard to see, but if you write these values with x and y instead, it might make it easier. For example, we can say F_CA = x, and F_DA = y. Then our first equation can be written as 15(4/14)+(6/14)x+(4/14)y=0, you can even convert the fractions to decimal form if it's easier. So the same equation can be written as 4.29+0.43x+0.28y=0. Writing the 3 equations like this will make it much easier to solve by isolating for one variable, plugging it into the next. Let me know if you need further help.

Please see these 2 videos: - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o-BnmrOhrrKUd58.html - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eamVitxi0NPcfac.html

FAB is a very simple solve, it's just one variable with a single equation. The other 2 can be solved the same way, plug FAB into the other equation and solve. Use substitution or elimination. Isolate for one variable, plug that into the 2nd equation.

I use substitution, but you can use any method you're comfortable with; elimination, a matrix, etc. You can even graph the equations to see where they intersect. If you're pressed for time, use wolfram alpha or symbolab.

It depends on what you have to do. If it's a force along a line, it's a bit more tedious, but generally, you need a position vector, a unit vector, then using the unit vector, you need to express the force in cartesian form. I cover this in a different video before this, please check the description.

I am not familiar with position vectors being called lambda vectors. Please see this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eamVitxi0NPcfac.html In it, I explain what a position vector is, so if it matches with what your professor or book says is a lambda vector, then yes, if not, then no. 👍

This is very vague, could you kindly send an example problem to contact @ questionsolutions.com. I can check it out and see if I cover any topics on that. 👍

Please see this video first, especially the first example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eamVitxi0NPcfac.html

So each point is with respect to the origin. In other words, we are looking for the distance to each point from the origin. Please see this video first: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eamVitxi0NPcfac.html

Is point A the origin?@@QuestionSolutions

No, the origin is always where the x,y,x axes meet.@@travoltavatileni7494

@@janecm6136 Glad it worked out :)

@@janecm6136 I am happy it helped you out but it's also because of your hard work. So keep it up and do your best :)

The force magnitude is represented by variables F_AB, F_AC, etc. We find those later on in the question.

You can use the equilibrium equation for the z-components. It has just one variable and it's easily solvable for Fab. Pause the video at 2:16 and look at the very bottom equation. 👍 Let me know if you still need help.

Please see: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eamVitxi0NPcfac.html

So you can directly solve for F_AB from the 3rd equation at 2:16. After that, plug that value into the 2nd equation and isolate it for F_AC or F_AD. Then plug the isolated value into the first equation and solve. So easiest would be to use the substitution method. Imagine you have 2 equations like this: 2x+3y=5, 3x-6y=6. You can solve these two easily right? It's the same process.

So once you assume F_BA=15 kN, you now have 3 equations with 3 unknowns. Then you can solve them any way you like. For example, you can isolate for 1 variable in the first equation, plug that into the 2nd equation, then isolate for the another variable and plug that into the 3rd equation.

No, the weight is always straight down along the z-axis, so almost always, it will just have a z-component. Also, how did you get the +4j component?

@@QuestionSolutions because its starts from point A

@@sevgipnar5261 Point A is the origin since that's where everything starts from. The weight technically starts at point A. It just pulls straight down, so there are no other components.

@@QuestionSolutions how can point A origin ?didn’t we write A(0i -4j +0k )

@@sevgipnar5261 Okay, I see what's happening. You are mixing up forces expressed in cartesian form vs position vectors. The weight, which is 196.2 N, can be expressed in cartesian form as just -196.2K. When we need to express forces in the cables, we need to write position vectors from A to D, A to C, and A to B. We do NOT need any position vectors for the weight, because it just has a z-component. I am not sure how to explain this better, but one way to think about it is to realize that the cable holding the pot is straight up, it's not going to the left or right or anywhere else. It's just straight upwards, it does NOT have any other components. Again, you are mixing up expressing forces in cartesian form with position vectors. Please kindly watch this video first: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eamVitxi0NPcfac.html

Please let me know where I skipped steps and I can help you out better. Thanks!

I was wonder how u got your answer ?

The weight is hanging straight down. The vector for weight is straight down, it's not slanted in any other direction. Which means, it has just a z-component.
