Tentukan Resultan dari lima buah gaya masing-masing 1000 kg yang bekerja secara grafis (Gambar 1). Skala: 1 cm # 200kg

Solution

To solve the problem in the image, we need to determine the resultant force from the five forces K1,K2,K3,K4,K5K_1, K_2, K_3, K_4, K_5 acting on point SS. The forces have magnitudes of 1000 kg each, and a graphical solution method is required according to the problem statement. Here’s how to approach it:

Key Information:

  • Each force has a magnitude of 1000 kg (equivalent to approximately 9800N9800 \, \text{N}, considering the gravitational constant).
  • Scale: 1 cm on the diagram equals 200 kg, or 1960N1960 \, \text{N}.

Steps for a Graphical Solution:

  1. Draw the Forces Accurately: Using a ruler, measure each of the forces on the diagram according to the given scale. The length of each force vector in cm should be scaled by multiplying it by 200 to convert it to kg.

  2. Vector Addition (Head-to-Tail Method):

    • Begin by placing the tail of the second vector at the head of the first vector.
    • Continue this process for all vectors (i.e., add K1K_1 to K2K_2, then K3K_3, etc.).
    • The resultant vector will be the one that connects the starting point of K1K_1 to the end point of the last vector added.
  3. Measure the Resultant: Once the resultant vector is drawn, measure its length and use the scale (1 cm = 200 kg) to convert the length into the actual force in kg.

  4. Determine the Angle of the Resultant: Using a protractor, measure the angle of the resultant vector relative to the positive x-axis (or a chosen reference direction).

Calculating the Resultant Mathematically (if needed):

  • Resolve each force into its x and y components using trigonometry if the angles of the vectors are known.
    • For force KiK_i at an angle θi\theta_i from the horizontal axis: Kix=Kicos(θi)K_{i_x} = K_i \cdot \cos(\theta_i) Kiy=Kisin(θi)K_{i_y} = K_i \cdot \sin(\theta_i)
  • Sum all the x and y components: Fres_x=Kix,Fres_y=KiyF_{\text{res\_x}} = \sum K_{i_x}, \quad F_{\text{res\_y}} = \sum K_{i_y}
  • The magnitude of the resultant is given by: Fres=(Fres_x)2+(Fres_y)2F_{\text{res}} = \sqrt{(F_{\text{res\_x}})^2 + (F_{\text{res\_y}})^2}
  • The direction (angle) of the resultant relative to the horizontal is: θres=tan1(Fres_yFres_x)\theta_{\text{res}} = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{F_{\text{res\_y}}}{F_{\text{res\_x}}}\right)

This graphical approach allows you to visualize and calculate the resultant of multiple forces in a clear and systematic way.

Would you like further details on the graphical method, or do you need help with any specific part of this process?

Here are some related questions to expand understanding:

  1. How do you resolve a vector into its components?
  2. What is the significance of vector direction in force analysis?
  3. What are the common methods for adding multiple vectors?
  4. How does changing the angle between vectors affect the resultant force?
  5. How would the solution change if the forces were in three dimensions?

Tip: Always ensure that your scale and units are consistent when solving problems graphically.
