Question:

A gun is aimed at a point A located 20° west of north. Knowing that the barrel of the gun forms an angle e of 35° with the horizontal and that the maximum recoil force is 180 lb, determine
(a) The x, y, and z components of that force,
(b) The values of the angles θx, θy, and θz that define the direction of the recoil force. (Assume that the x, y, and z axes are directed, respectively, east, up, and south.)
