A crate is supported by three cables as shown in the figure below. The forces on each cable is given in vector notation as: F1 = (-20i + 40j + 25k) N F2 = (25i + 50j - 50k) N F3 (30i - 10k) N Calculate the magnitude and direction of the Resultant force acting at point A. (Use point A as reference).

Question
A crate is supported by three cables as shown in the figure below. The forces on each cable is given in vector notation
as:
F1 = (-20i + 40j + 25k) N
F2 = (25i + 50j - 50k) N
F3 (30i 10k) N
Calculate the magnitude and direction of the Resultant force acting at point A. (Use point A as
reference).
