Hi friends. I have a problem with this question:
(black line = positive x-axis, grey = positive y-axis, z = positive z-axis)
This is what I did:
cd = 0.4j - 0.2k
|cd| = 0.447
F(ab) = 0.2i + 0.4j - 0.2k
|ab| = 0.489
F(cd) = F(ab) .n(cd)
F(cd) = (F (0.2i + 0.4j - 0.2k) / 0.489) . ((0.4j - 0.2k) / 0.447)
F(cd) = F (0.146j - 0.0365k)
M = r x F
Applying the cross product I get:
F (0.0438i) = 50
Then I have no idea what to do. Is this even wrong, and if so what am I doing wrong?
