Determine the x, v, and z scalar components of the force. F= 1500 lb 17 t 12 ft

Given Data:

• The coordinate of point A is (-4, 12, 7).

The position vector OA can be shown as,

The position vector OA can be determined as,

$\overrightarrow{OA}=-4i+12j+7k$

The unit vector along OA can be determined as,

$\begin{array}{rcl}\widehat{OA}& =& \frac{\overrightarrow{OA}}{\left|\overrightarrow{OA}\right|}\\ & =& \frac{-4i+12j+7k}{\sqrt{{\left(-4\right)}^2+{\left(12\right)}^2+{\left(7\right)}^2}}\\ & =& \frac{-4i+12j+7k}{\sqrt{209}}\\ & =& -0.276i+0.830j+0.484k\end{array}$
