Determine the resultant force applied to the eye bolt


A short post AB has a commercially manufactured eyebolt screwed into its end. Three cables attahced to the eyebolt apply forces shown.
(a) Determine the resultant force applied to the eyebolt by the three cables, using a cartesian vector representation.
(b) The manufaturer of the eyebolt specifies maximum working load* of 2100lbin direction of the eyebolt's axis. When loads are not in the direction of the eyebolt's axis, the manufacturer specifies reduction of the workload using the multiplier given in Fig. 1. Determine if the size eyebolt is satisfactory.
