Engr221 Chapter 2

Cartesian Vector Notation


We resolve vectors into components using the x and y axes system Each component of the vector is shown as a magnitude and a direction

The directions are based on the x and y axes. We use the unit vectors i and j to designate the x and y axes, respectively.

Cartesian Vector Notation - continued


For example, F = Fx i + Fy j F' = F'x i + F'y j

The x and y axes are always perpendicular to each other. Together,they can be directed at any inclination.

Engr221 Chapter 2

Addition of Several Vectors

Step 1 is to resolve each force into its components. Step 2 is to add all the x components together and add all the y components together. These two totals become the resultant vector.

Addition of Several Vectors - continued

Step 3 is to find the magnitude and angle of the resultant vector.

RightHanded Coordinate System

A Cartesian coordinate system is said to be right-handed provided the thumb of the right hand points in the direction of the positive z axis when the right-hand fingers are curled about this axis and directed from the positive x toward the positive y axis.

A Unit Vector
For a vector A with a magnitude of A, a unit vector UA is defined as UA = A / A Characteristics of a unit vector: a) Its magnitude is 1 b) It is dimensionless c) It points in the same direction as the original vector (A) The unit vectors in the Cartesian axis system are i, j, and k. They are unit vectors along the positive x, y, and z axes respectively.

3-D Cartesian Vector Terminology


Consider a box with sides AX, AY, and AZ meters long. The vector A can be defined as A = (AX i + AY j + AZ k) m The projection of the vector A in the x-y plane is A. The magnitude of this projection, A, is found by using the same approach as a 2-D vector: A = (AX2 + AY2)1/2 . The magnitude of the vector A can now be obtained as: A = ((A)2 + AZ2) = (AX2 + AY2 + AZ2)

Terminology - continued
The direction or orientation of vector A is defined by the angles , , and . These angles are measured between the vector and the positive x, y and z axes, respectively. Their values range from 0 to 180. Using trigonometry, direction cosines, and coordinate direction angles are found using the formulas:

Engr221 Chapter 2

18

Terminology - continued
These angles are not independent. They must satisfy the following equation: cos + cos + cos = 1 This result can be derived from the definition of coordinate direction angles and the unit vector. Recall, the formula for finding the unit vector is:

or written another way: uA = cos i + cos j + cos k

Cartesian Vector Math


Once individual vectors are written in Cartesian form, it is easy to add or subtract them. The process is essentially the same as when 2-D vectors are added. For example, if A = AX i + AY j + AZ k and B = BX i + BY j + BZ k then A + B = (AX + BX) i + (AY + BY) j + (AZ + BZ) k and A B = (AX - BX) i + (AY - BY) j + (AZ - BZ) k

Engr221 Chapter 2

Important Notes
Sometimes 3-D vector information is given as: a) Magnitude and coordinate direction angles, or b) Magnitude and projection angles You should be able to use both types of information to change the representation of the vector into the Cartesian form, i.e., F = {10 i 20 j + 30 k} N

Example A
G

Given: Two forces F and G are applied to a hook. Force F is shown in the figure and it makes a 60 angle with the x-y plane. Force G is pointing up and has a magnitude of 80 lb with = 111 and = 69.3. Find: The resultant force in Cartesian vector form. Plan:

1) Using geometry and trigonometry, write F and G in Cartesian vector form 2) Add the two forces together

Engr221 Chapter 2

20

Example A - continued
Solution : First, resolve force F. Fz = 100 sin 60 = 86.60 lb F' = 100 cos 60 = 50.00 lb Fx = 50 cos 45 = 35.36 lb Fy = 50 sin 45 = 35.36 lb Now, you can write: F = {35.36 i 35.36 j + 86.60 k} lb

Example A - continued
Next, resolve force G. We are given only and . We need to find the value of . Recall the formula cos () + cos () + cos () = 1. Now substitute what we know. We have cos (111) + cos (69.3) + cos () = 1. Solving, we get = 30.22 or 120.2. Since the vector is pointing up, = 30.22

Now using the coordinate direction angles, we can get UG, and determine G from the formula: G = 80UG lb. G = {80 ( cos (111) i + cos (69.3) j + cos (30.22) k )} lb G = {- 28.67 i + 28.28 j + 69.13 k } lb Finally, find the resultant vector R = F + G or R = {6.69 i 7.08 j + 156 k} lb

Wing strut

Position Vector
A position vector is defined as a fixed vector that locates a point in space relative to another point. Consider two points, A & B, in 3D space. Let their coordinates be (XA, YA, ZA) and (XB, YB, ZB ), respectively. The position vector directed from A to B, rAB , is defined as rAB = {( XB XA ) i + ( YB YA ) j + ( ZB ZA ) k } m Note that B is the ending point and A is the starting point. Always subtract the tail coordinates from the tip coordinates.

Force Vector Along a Line


If a force is directed along a line, then the force can be represented in Cartesian coordinates by using a unit vector and the force magnitude. So we need to: a) Find the position vector, rAB , along two points on that line b) Find the unit vector describing the lines direction, uAB = (rAB/rAB) c) Multiply the unit vector by the magnitude of the force, F = F uAB
