Step 1

Hey, thanx for your question. According to our policy I m answering question first. Please post the remaining question again to get it answered.

(a) P=5,7,8, Q=0,α,0,R=0,3,-3 , S=-6,7,0

Resultant of the vectors is given by 

P+Q+R+S=5,7,8+0,α,0+0,3,-3+-6,7,0P+Q+R+S=5-6,7+α+3+7,8-3P+Q+R+S=-1,α+17,5

We know that in the xz plane, y=0

So,

 α+17=0α=-17
