Transcribed Image Text:The force **F** is given by **F** = {-100i + 200j + 200k} N. The moment of **F** about the line from O to A is **M_OA** = {470i + 315j + 160k} Nm. What are the direction cosines of the position vector **r_A/O**?
**Answer:** cosθₓ = 0.800, cosθ_y = 0.536, cosθ_z = 0.272
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram illustrates a coordinate system with x, y, and z axes. There are two vectors:
- Vector **F** is shown in the space with components (-2, 6, 3) meters.
- Vector **r_OA** extends from point O to point A, indicating the position vector for which the direction cosines are to be determined.
The diagram visually represents the spatial relation of vector **F** and the line OA along the axes, facilitating the calculation of direction cosines using the provided force and moment vectors.
