Question 21755: Three forces, each of which is perpendicular to the other two, act on an object. If the magnitude of these forces are 6N, 10N, and 15N respectively, find the magnitude and direction of the resultant, and thier angles.

Label the rectangluar prism.
|AD| = 6N
|AB|=15N
|AE|=10N
|AG|=Endpoint
|AG|^2=5^2+10^2+15^2
simplify |AG|=19N =38degrees ///
Hence, the resultant force is 19N making an angle of 38 and 58 degrees
