Three forces of 5N, 8N, and 10N act from the same corner of a rectangular solid along its three edges.

a) Calculate the magnitude of the equilibrant of these three forces.

b) Determine the angle that the equilibrant makes with each of the three forces.

1 answer

a) The magnitude of the equilibrant of these three forces is 23N.

b) The angle that the equilibrant makes with each of the three forces is 120°.
