A 500-kg load hangs from three cables of equal length that are anchored at the points \((-2,0,0),(1, \sqrt{3}, 0),\) and \((1,-\sqrt{3}, 0) .\) The load is located at \((0,0,-2 \sqrt{3}) .\) Find the vectors describing the forces on the cables due to the load.
Find the points (if they exist) at which the following planes and curves intersect. $$y+x=0 ; \mathbf{r}(t)=\langle\cos t, \sin t, t\rangle, \text { for } 0 \leq t \leq 4 \pi$$
Use projections to find a general formula for the (smallest) distance between the point \(\left.P\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right) \text { and the line } a x+b y=c . \text { (See Exercises } 62-65 .\right)\)
For the following vectors u and \(\mathbf{v}\) express u as the sum \(\mathbf{u}=\mathbf{p}+\mathbf{n},\) where \(\mathbf{p}\) is parallel to \(\mathbf{v}\) and \(\mathbf{n}\) is orthogonal to \(\mathbf{v}\). \(\mathbf{u}=\langle-1,2,3\rangle, \mathbf{v}=\langle 2,1,1\rangle\)
Trajectory with a sloped landing Assume an object is launched from the origin with an initial speed \(\left|\mathbf{v}_{0}\right|\) at an angle \(\alpha\) to the horizontal, where \(0 < \alpha < \frac{\pi}{2}\) a. Find the time of flight, range, and maximum height (relative to the launch point) of the trajectory if the ground slopes downward at a constant angle of \(\theta\) from the launch site, where \(0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}\) b. Find the time of flight, range, and maximum height of the trajectory if the ground slopes upward at a constant angle of \(\theta\) from the launch site.
