New coordinate system and point location in new system

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the location of a point in a new coordinate system defined by two perpendicular line segments in a Cartesian coordinate system. The user seeks to establish this new coordinate system such that the segments align without an angle. They mention that previous attempts using vector transformation were slow for their software. Clarification is provided that the segments indeed intersect perpendicularly. The user plans to share images to enhance understanding of their setup.

hi all,
firstly i need to calculate point location in new coordinate system. ı have 2 line segments and a point(x,y,z) in word cartesian coordinates system. For example, my first line segment is (0,0,5) , (50,0,3) locations and second line segment is (0,6,3),(0,-6,7) locations in cartesian coordinates. My purpose is that ı want to set my new coordinate system using line segments. These segments are verticaly intersect.

Hello Ali, ##\qquad## :welcome: ##\qquad## !

Not completeley clear what you want to do from your description.

You mean 'intersect perpendicularly ?' Do they ?

YES, this segments is perpendicular. in fact, i have two perpendicular segments in word cordinate system and this segments rotated with angle. ı need to set coordinate system on this segments. After set new corrdinate system, segments don't have angle. my purpose is calculating point(x,y,z) coordinates in new coordinate sysem. İ tried vektorel transformation but this method is very slow for my software.
 
I had missed the pictures. Will look at them.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
