Example 5: Find the projection of vector A = 2i - 8j+ k in the

direction of the vector Solution: For using conditions of
equilibrium, all the forces acting at
point P are shown by a force diagram as illustrated in Fig. 2.16 where w is B = 3 -

Solution: If O is the angle between A and B, then, A cos is the required
