Homework Statement
okay i don't have the exact problem in front of me right now but it went something like this: they gave the force, F, which equaled 500 N. for part a they said to express in terms of a magnitude times a unit vector. for part b they wanted the force expressed in orthogonal terms.
another note: the force makes equal angles with respect the x,y,z axis'
(theta x = theta y = theta z)
the only value given is that of the force.
Homework Equations
F = to the magnitude times unit vector
The Attempt at a Solution
a) F being 500 N
F = magnitude of F times e
e being the unit vector
b) for part be would it simply be
F = magnitude of F times (ei + ej + ek)
i know the question was just paraphrased but is that what its asking for?
