Question: A three - legged structure is shown below. It is attached to the ground at points , 0 and C = ( - 3 .

A three-legged structure is shown below. It is attached to the ground at points ,0 and C=(-3.48,0,0) and connected to the ceiling at point A=(-4.42,3.01,4.34) The three legs connect at point D=(0,2.07,2.00), where two forces, F and P, act. Force F is given by F=10.0i-16.0j+30.0kN;P has magnitude 50.0 N and direction angles =117.0,=52.5, and =49.4 for the x,y, and z axes, respectively.( Figure 1)
Part C - Determining the force along a member
Determine the magnitude, FDA, acting along member DA, due to the applied force F=10.0i-16.0j+30.0kN Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Part D - Finding the component of a force perpendicular to a direction
Given F=10.0i-16.0j+30.0kN, find the component of F that acts perpendicular to member DA such that the vector addition of the perpendicular and parallel components of F(F=F+F1) with respect to DA' equals F. Express your answer in component form.
