Problem: A lifting frame is pulled by two slings with 600 N (\(\theta_x = 45^\circ\), \(\theta_y = 60^\circ\), \(\theta_z = 120^\circ\)) and 450 N (\(\theta_x = 120^\circ\), \(\theta_y = 45^\circ\), \(\theta_z = 60^\circ\)), and carries its own weight of 700 N. Find the resultant of the three forces.
