    A Force in space : A Force is said to be in space if its line ofaction makes an angle , and with respect to rectangularco-ordinate axes X, Y and Z respectively as shown the Fig. 1.

    Noncoplanar system of forces (Forces inSpace) and Their ClassificationsSystem of forces which do not lie in a single plane is called

    noncoplanar system of forces(Forces in space ). A typicalnoncoplanar system of forces (forces in space) is shown inthe Fig. 2. below

    Forces in space

    Noncoplanar system of forces (Forces in space) can be broadlyclassified into three categories. They are

    1. Concurrent noncoplanar system of forces2. Nonconcurrent noncoplanar system of forces3. Noncoplanar parallel system of forces

    Forces in space

    1. Concurrent noncoplanar system of forces: Forces whichmeet at a point with their lines of action do not lie in a planeare called Concurrent noncoplanar system of forces. A

    typical system of Concurrent noncoplanar system of forces isshown in the Fig.3.

    2. Nonconcurrent noncoplanar system of forces: Forces whichdo not meet at a point and their lines of action do not lie in a plane, such forces are called Nonconcurrent noncoplanarsystem of forces. A typical system of nonconcurrentnoncoplanar system of forces is shown in the Fig.4.

    3. Noncoplanar parallel system of forces : If lines of action of allthe forces in a system are parallel and they do not lie in a planesuch a system is called Non-coplanar parallel system offorces. If all the forces are pointing in one direction then theyare called Like parallel forces otherwise they are called unlike

    parallel forces as shown in the Fig.5.

    Rectangular components of a force in spaceIn the Fig.6(a) a force F is acting at the origin O of the systemof rectangular coordinate axes X,Y,Z. Consider OBAC planepassing through the force F. This plane makes an angle withrespect to XOY plane. Force F makes an angle

    y with

    respect to Y-axis.

    Forces in spaceThe relationship existing between the force F and its three components Fx,

    Fy, Fz is more easily visualized if a box having Fx, Fy, Fz for edges is drawnas shown below. The force F is then represented by the original OA of this

    box.

    From the above Figure (Fig. 7)

    Fx = F Cos x, F y = F Cos y, F z = F Cos z ------------(4)

    Where x, y, z are the angles formed by the force F with X, Y, Z axes respectively Fx,Fy,Fz are the rectangular components of the force F in the directions of X, Y, Z

    axes respectively.

    Cos x = F x/F; Cos y = F y/F; Cos z = F z/F

    Substituting equation (4) into the equation (3), we get

    F = F x2 + F y2 + F z2

    F = F 2Cos 2 x + F 2Cos 2 y + F 2Cos 2 z F2 = F 2 ( Cos 2 x + Cos 2 y + Cos 2 z )

    Solution: (a) Here d x = 50m, d y = 200m, d z = -100m

    = 144 +16 + 9 = 69 = 13m

    Fx 4/dx 4 = Fy 4/dy 4 = Fz 4/dz 4 = F 400 /d4

    Fx4/(12) = Fy

    4/-4 = Fz

    4/3 = 400/13
