Mathcad - Extra2

The document summarizes a MathCad solution to determining three equivalent forces acting on a plate given a total force of 210kN. It defines direction vectors for three individual forces T1, T2, and T3 and the total force R. It then sets the forces to 1N each and solves the equation relating the individual forces to the total force R to find the values of T1, T2, and T3.
