Homework Statement
W is 8 units in the y-z plane in a direction defined by theta = 120 degrees with respect to the y-axis and have a positive z component.
Homework Equations
Wy=Wsin(theta)
R^(2)=Rx^(2)+Ry^(2)+Rz^(2)
The Attempt at a Solution
Wy=Wsin(theta)
Wy=8sin(120) =6.9
8^(2)=Sqrt(0^(2)+(6.9)^(2)+(Rz)^(2))
Rz=4.04 units. is this par right? I am not sure how to approach this one. I only how how to deal with x and y-axis but not z. Can sombody point me in the right direction? thanks!
