Topic 03. Forces in 3D using Coordinate Direction Angles and Projected Angles

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Topic 03 covers: 1) Describing a force in 3D using Cartesian coordinates; 2) Describing a force in 3D with coordinate direction angles; 3) Describing a force in 3D using projected angles; 4) Determining the magnitude and coordinate direction angles of the resultant force in 3D.

This topic is essential for analyzing force components in three-dimensional space using the given or measured angle information.

At the end of this topic, an animation is provided to visually demonstrate how to express a force in 3D using the given information: 1) with the provided projected angle; 2) with the given coordinate direction angles.
