# Three forces act on the ring 8

Three forces act on the ring. If the resultant force $F_R$ has a magnitude and direction as shown, determine the magnitude and the coordinate direction angles of force $F_3$.

### Again, we will simplify this like so:

I didn’t understand how we did the Fr. when we use sin and when we use cos i’m confused and i can’t understand that solving way help me💔🥺

I understand the video unless that kind of problems which has 2 angles for each component or axis, i mean like the i has 2 cos and j also has 2 cos i didn’t understand how we did that cos45sin30 and so on…. can u explain how we solve Fr step by step exactly please and why we use that exactly need explaining with the details

If you watched the 2nd video, the last 2 examples I cover go through exactly what you are asking for. There isn’t anything more I can say or show you other than that. If sine and cosine confuses you, please review trigonometric ratio.
