QUESTION:
Determine the magnitude and coordinate direction angles of the resultant force, and sketch this vector on the coordinate system.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 6
Transform each force to the Cartesian vector which is the and component of the forces. Note that positive values are those with rightward, forward and upward directions while leftward, backward and downward directions are negative.
Use the free-body diagram to transform each force to Cartesian Form.
Step 2 of 6
doesn't have any -component since it lies on the -plane
The and components of can be solved by bringing the force to plane using the angle and then using the angle to finally bring it to and
