To determine the magnitude of a force, we'll apply the
formula:
|F| = sqrt(a^2 + b^2 +
c^2)
where a,b,c are the coefficients of the unit vectors
i,j,k.
We'll identify the coefficients:
a,b,c.
F = 2.63i + 4.28j-5.92k
N
a = 2.63
b =
4.28
c = -5.92
|F| =
sqrt[(2.63)^2 + (4.28)^2 + (-5.92)^2]
|F| =
7.75 N
The angle that F makes with x axis
is:
cos theta x = a/|F|
cos
theta x = 2.63 / 7.75
cos theta x = 70.2
degrees
The angle that F makes with y axis
is:
cos theta y = b/|F|
cos
theta y = 4.28/7.75
cos theta y = 56.3
degrees
The angle that F makes with z axis
is:
cos theta z = c/|F|
cos
theta z = -5.92/7.75
cos theta z = 139.8
degrees
