Resultant Vertical Shear Force on Section N Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Resultant Vertical Shear Force on Section N?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Xn=(Fncos(θπ180))+(Ssin(θπ180))-W+X(n+1)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Xn=(12.09Ncos(45°π180))+(11.07Nsin(45°π180))-20N+9.87N
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
Xn=(12.09Ncos(45°3.1416180))+(11.07Nsin(45°3.1416180))-20N+9.87N
Next Step Convert Units
Xn=(12.09Ncos(0.7854rad3.1416180))+(11.07Nsin(0.7854rad3.1416180))-20N+9.87N
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Xn=(12.09cos(0.78543.1416180))+(11.07sin(0.78543.1416180))-20+9.87
Next Step Evaluate
Xn=2.11060455757483N
LAST Step Rounding Answer
Xn=2.1106N
