AI Thread Summary
To solve for the resultant of the three forces acting on an object, one must first break down the forces into their vector components. The 30N and 45N forces act at a 120-degree angle to each other in the horizontal plane, while the 50N force acts perpendicular to this plane. The magnitude of the resultant can be calculated using vector addition, considering both the horizontal and vertical components. The friend's result of 96.8N and an angle of 51.7 degrees off the plane of the first two vectors suggests a correct approach, but verification through proper vector calculations is necessary. Understanding the 3D nature of the problem is crucial for accurate results.

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!
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
