(a) Explanation The magnitude of the force F acting on the origin of the coordinate system is 210 N . The x component of the force is F x = 80 N and the angle the z component makes with the origin of the coordinate system is θ z = 151.2 ° . Write the equation to find z component of force. F z = F cos θ z . (I) Here, F z is the z component of force, F is the magnitude of force and θ z is the angle the z component of force makes with the origin of the coordinate system. Write the equation for the square of the magnitude of the force in terms of the components of force. F 2 = F x 2 + F y 2 + F z 2 (II) Here, F is the magnitude of total force acting on the origin of the coordinate system, F x is the x component of force and F y is the y component of force. Conclusion: Substitute 210 N for F and 151.2 ° for θ z in equation (I). F z = ( 210 N ) cos ( 151 (b) To determine The angles θ x and θ y made by the x and y components of force with the origin of the coordinate system.
