Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
Three different forces pull on the joint shown below. What is the resultant of these three forces? Calculate both the 1) magnitude in kips and 2) direction in degrees (measured from the horizontal, be clear how you measure). Note: vectors are not necessarily drawn to scale. Sketch your solution, and show all your work.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram shows three vectors acting on a joint.
1. **Vector 1**:
- Magnitude: 4.12 kips
- Direction: Points to the left
2. **Vector 2**:
- Magnitude: 10 kips
- Direction: Points upward and slightly to the right
3. **Vector 3**:
- Magnitude: 9.5 kips
- Direction: Points downward and to the left
Each vector is labeled and has directional arrows. The vectors are not specified to scale. The angles and layout suggest they combine to exert a certain overall force and direction on the joint.
