Express the force as a Cartesian vector SolutionProjection o

Solution

Projection of F on x-y plane: F * cos 45

Projection of F on x axis: F * cos 45 * cos 60

Projection of F on y axis: - F * cos 45 * sin 60

Projection of F on z axis: F * sin 45

So in cartesian coordinate system F can be written as:

F = F* cos 45*cos60 i - F* cos 45*sin60 j + F*sin45 k = 265.1 i - 459.3 j + 530.33 k
