Finding Projection of Force onto line

jeudi 28 août 2014

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Determine the magnitude of the projection of force F = 700N along the u axis.









2. Relevant equations

Cosθ = (A • B)/(||A|| * ||B||)



3. The attempt at a solution

I'm guessing I have to use the above equation, but my problem is finding the B vector. A is easy enough (<-2, 4, 4> I believe), but what about that B? Or am I thinking of this in the wrong way?
