1.31.Determine which of the following are scalars and which are vectors:
a) Kinetic energy (V) f) temperature (E)
b) electric field intensity (E) g) load (E)
c) entropy (E) shear force (V)
work i) frequency (E)
e) centrifugal force (V)

1.41. Three coplanar forces act on an object P, as illustrated in figure 1-24. Calculate the
force needed to prevent P from moving.

R=323.2lb

Break down forces into their coordinates:

F1200 lb F=cos
x 30°∗200=173.2F=sin30°∗200=100
y → (173.2,100)

F2(150,0)

F3= 100 lb → (0,-100)

Sum of vectors:

(0 , -100)____

R = (323.2 , 0)

Response: the force needed to prevent P from moving is 323.2 lb

A weight of 100 pounds is suspended from its center by means of a rope, as shown.
