SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the resultant of three forces: 30N, 45N, and 50N, acting on an object in a three-dimensional space. The forces are oriented such that the first two act at an angle of 120 degrees to each other, while the third force is perpendicular to the plane formed by the first two. A participant claims the resultant force is 96.8N with an angle of 51.7 degrees from the plane of the first two vectors, prompting inquiries into the validity of this solution and the methods used to derive it.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vector addition in three dimensions
  • Familiarity with trigonometric functions and their applications in physics
  • Knowledge of force components and their resolution
  • Basic principles of equilibrium and resultant forces
NEXT STEPS
  • Study vector addition techniques in 3D space
  • Learn about resolving forces into their components
  • Explore the use of trigonometry in physics problems
  • Investigate the concept of resultant forces and their calculations
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physics students, engineers, and anyone involved in mechanics or vector analysis, particularly those tackling problems involving multiple forces in three-dimensional environments.

3d Vectors Very Hard!

Three Forces of 30N , 45N and 50N act on an Object. The first act at an angle of 120 to each other the third is perpendiuclar to the plane of the first two. Find the Magnitude of the resultant, and the angle which the resultant makes with the plane containing the first two forces.

Any hints or help to help me start this question thanks!

Hmm... my friend got 96.8N, 51.7 degrees off of the plane of the 1st 2 vectors
is he correct, and how did he derive this answer?
 
anyone with anything i don't know where to solve the resultant... its a 3D with the 50N going upwards and 30 and 45N both Affecting at an 120 degree angle! Its Reall hard!
