Step 1
To do this, we can use trigonometry. Let's assume that Fb is acting at an angle of θb and Fc is acting at an angle of θc. The horizontal component of Fb (Fbx) can be found using the formula: Fbx = Fb * cos(θb) Similarly, the horizontal component of Fc (Fcx) Show more…

The forces act on a particle P: F1 = 2i + 3j - 5k, F2 = -5i + j + 3k, F3 = i - 2j + 4k, F4 = 4i - 3j - 2k, measured in pounds. Find (a) the resultant of the forces, (b) the magnitude of the resultant.
