Practice problems

1. A tensile force (F) of 235 MPa acts at an angle of 120° from horizontal on a block resting on top of a fault plane that dips 22° to the right (positive x-direction)

a) Draw a physical space diagram illustrating the geometry of this situation. Determine the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components of the tensile force (F).

Which is larger?

b) Determine the magnitude and orientation of the normal and shear components of the force on the inclined plane. Which force is larger in magnitude?
