EXAMPLE II Given: The force acting on the pole at point A. Find: The components of the force acting parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the pole. Plan: 1. Find F, rOA and uOA 2. Determine the parallel component of F using F|| = F • uOA 3. The perpendicular component of F is F⊥ = (F2 – F|| 2) ½ Statics, Fourteenth Edition R.C.
