Replace the parallel force system acting on the plate by a resultant force. Suppose that F1 = 4 kN , F2 = 8.9 kN , and F3 = 5 kN . (Figure 1)
Part A
Determine the magnitude of the resultant force.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Part B
Specify the location of the resultant force on the x-z plane.
