Three Ways to Give a Direction

ID: 5mep15a0ab

Problem: Write each force in Cartesian vector form: \(F_1 = 300\,\text{N}\) at \(20^\circ\) below \(+x\); \(F_2 = 520\,\text{N}\) up and to the left along a 5-12-13 slope (12 across, 5 up); \(F_3 = 400\,\text{N}\) directed from the origin toward the point \((-3, -4)\) m.
