Transcribed Image Text:Learning Goal:
To determine Cartesian force components from
magnitude and determine position and resultant
vectors by summing Cartesian components.
As shown, a 2.9-1b ball is suspended at point D
inside a box with dimensions w = 9.30 ft,
d = 6.40 ft, and h = 4.30 ft. The ball is held in
place by three cables anchored at points A, B, and
C on the surface of the box.

point D is the origin of the Cartesian coordinate
system, point A is located at
(-4.70, -3.80, 2.50) ft, point B is located at
(1.70, -3.80, 1.70) ft, and point C is located at
(1.70, 5.50, -1.80) ft.
