Answer #1

a )

given F1 = 250 N , F2 = 400 N

and

= 1200 , = 450 , = 600

and also = 250 , = 350   

now

F1 = 250 X ( cos35 X sin 25 i + cos 35 X cos25 j - sin35 k )

F1 = 86.54 i + 185.59 j - 0.5735 k

F2 = 400 X ( cos120 i + cos45 j + cos 60 k )

F2 = -200 i + 282.84 j + 200 k

F = F1 + F2   

F = - 113.46 i + 468.43 j + 199.4265 k

F = 113.462 + 468.432 + 199.46252  

F = 521.61 N

b )

cos = -113.46 / 521.61

= 102.560   

cos = 468.43 / 521.61

= 26.090  

cos = 199.4625 / 521.61

= 67.510
