$\mathbf{F_{AB} = 13785.06 N }$

$\mathbf{F_{AC} = -5062.38 N }$

$\mathbf{F_{AD} = -5062.38 N }$

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let calculate the position vector of AB, AC, and AD

To start with AB; in order to calculate the position vector of AB ; we have:

$r_{AB}^{\to} = r _{OA}^{\to} - r_{OB}^{\to} \\ \\ r_{AB}^{\to} = (2.6 \ \hat i + 2.6 \ \hat j - 2.2 \ \hat k ) - ( 1.5 \ \hat i + \ 1. 5 \hat j ) \\ \\ r_{AB}^{\to} = ( 2.6 \ \hat i - 1.5 \ \hat i + 2.6 \ \hat j - 1.5 \ \hat j - 2.2 \ \hat k) \\ \\ r_{AB}^{\to} = (1.1 \ \hat i + 1.1 \ \hat j - 2.2 \ \hat k ) m$

To calculate the position vector of AC; we have:

$r_{AC}^{\to} = r _{OA}^{\to} - r_{OC}^{\to} \\ \\ r_{AC}^{\to} = (2.6 \ \hat i + 2.6 \ \hat j - 2.2 \ \hat k ) - ( 2\ \hat i + \ \hat j - 1.2 \ \hat k) \\ \\ r_{AC}^{\to} = ( 2.6 \ \hat i - 2\ \hat i + 2.6 \ \hat j - \ \hat j - 2.2 \ \hat k + 1.2 \ \hat k) \\ \\ r_{AC}^{\to} = (0.6 \ \hat i + 1.6 \ \hat j - \ \hat k ) m$

To calculate the position vector of AD ; we have:

$r_{AD}^{\to} = r _{OA}^{\to} - r_{OD}^{\to} \\ \\ r_{AC}^{\to} = (2.6 \ \hat i + 2.6 \ \hat j - 2.2 \ \hat k ) - ( \hat i + \ 2 \hat j - 1.2 \ \hat k) \\ \\ r_{AD}^{\to} = ( 2.6 \ \hat i - \hat i + 2.6 \ \hat j - 2 \ \hat j - 2.2 \ \hat k + 1.2 \ \hat k) \\ \\ r_{AD}^{\to} = (1.6 \ \hat i + 0.6 \ \hat j - \ \hat k ) m$

However; let's calculate the force in AB, AC and AD in their respective unit vector form;

To start with unit vector AB by using the following expression; we have:

$F_{AB}^{\to} = F_{AB} \dfrac{ r _{AB}^{\to} }{|r_{AB}^{\to}} \\ \\ \\ F_{AB}^{\to} = F_{AB} \dfrac{(1.1 \ \hat i + 1.1 \ \hat j - 2.2 \ \hat k ) }{\sqrt{ (1.1)^2 + (1.1)^2 + (-2.2 )^2 }} \\ \\ \\ F_{AB}^{\to} = F_{AB} \dfrac{(1.1 \ \hat i + 1.1 \ \hat j - 2.2 \ \hat k ) }{ \sqrt{7.26}} \\ \\ \\ F_{AB}^{\to} = F_{AB} \dfrac{(1.1 \ \hat i + 1.1 \ \hat j - 2.2 \ \hat k ) }{ 2.6944} \\ \\ \\ F_{AB}^{\to} = F_{AB} (0.408 \ \hat i+ 0.408 \ \hat j - 0.8165 \ \hat k ) N\\$

The force AC in unit vector form is ;

$F_{AC}^{\to} = F_{AC} \dfrac{ r _{AC}^{\to} }{|r_{AC}^{\to}} \\ \\ \\ F_{AC}^{\to} = F_{AC} \dfrac{(0.6 \ \hat i + 1.6 \ \hat j - \ \hat k ) }{\sqrt{ (0.6)^2 + (1.6)^2 + (-1 )^2 }} \\ \\ \\ F_{AC}^{\to} = F_{AC} \dfrac{(0.6 \ \hat i + 1.6 \ \hat j - \ \hat k ) }{ \sqrt{3.92}} \\ \\ \\ F_{AC}^{\to} = F_{AC} \dfrac{(0.6 \ \hat i + 1.6 \ \hat j - \ \hat k ) }{1.9798} \\ \\ \\ F_{AC}^{\to} = F_{AC} (0.303 \ \hat i+ 0.808 \ \hat j - 0.505 \ \hat k ) N\\$

The force AD in unit vector form is ;

$F_{AD}^{\to} = F_{AD} \dfrac{ r _{AD}^{\to} }{|r_{AD}^{\to}|} \\ \\ \\ F_{AD}^{\to} = F_{AD} \dfrac{(1.6 \ \hat i + 0.6 \ \hat j - \ \hat k ) }{\sqrt{ (1.6)^2 + (0.6)^2 + (-1 )^2 }} \\ \\ \\ F_{AD}^{\to} = F_{AD} \dfrac{(1.6 \ \hat i + 0.6 \ \hat j - \ \hat k ) }{ \sqrt{3.92}} \\ \\ \\ F_{AD}^{\to} = F_{AD} \dfrac{(1.6 \ \hat i + 0.6 \ \hat j - \ \hat k ) }{1.9798} \\ \\ \\ F_{AD}^{\to} = F_{AD} (0.808 \ \hat i+ 0.303 \ \hat j - 0.505 \ \hat k ) N\\$

Similarly ; the weight of the lunar Module is:

W = mg

where;

mass = 13500 kg

acceleration due to gravity= 1.82 m/s²

W = 13500 × 1.82

W = 24,570 N

Also. we known that the load is shared by four landing gears; Thus, the vertical reaction force exerted by the ground on each landing gear can be expressed as:

$R =\dfrac{W}{4}$

$R =\dfrac{24,570}{4}$

R = 6142.5 N

Now; the reaction force at point A in unit vector form is :

$R^{\to} = Rk^{\to} \\ \\ R^{\to} = (6142.5 \ k ^{\to}) \ N$

Using the force equilibrium at the meeting point of the coordinates at A.

$\sum F^{\to} = 0$

$F_{AB}^{\to} +F_{AC}^{\to} + F_{AD}^{\to} + R^{\to} =0$

$[F_{AB} (0.408 \ \hat i + 0.408 \ \hat j - 0.8165 \ \hat k ) N + F_{AC} (0.303 \ \hat i + 0.808 \ \hat j - 0.505 \ \hat k ) N + F_{AD} (0.808 \ \hat i + 0.303 \ \hat j - 0.505 \ \hat k) N + (6142.5 \ k^ \to ) ]$

$= [ ( 0.408 F_{AB} +0.303 F_{AC} + 0.808F_{AD}) \hat i + (0.408 F_{AB}+0.808F_{AC}+0.303F_{AD}) \hat j + (-0.8165 F_{AB} -0.505F_{AC} -0.505 F_{AD} +6142.5 ) k ^ \to ] = 0$

From above; we need to relate and equate each coefficients i.e i ,j, and $k ^ \to$ on both sides ; so, we can re-write that above as;

$0.408 F_{AB} +0.303 F_{AC} + 0.808F_{AD}) =0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ --- (1) \\ \\ 0.408 F_{AB}+0.808F_{AC}+0.303F_{AD}) =0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ --- (2) \\ \\ -0.8165 F_{AB} -0.505F_{AC} -0.505 F_{AD} +6142.5 = 0 --- (3)$

Making rearrangement and solving by elimination method;

$\mathbf{F_{AB} = 13785.06 N }$

$\mathbf{F_{AC} = -5062.38 N }$

$\mathbf{F_{AD} = -5062.38 N }$

answer:

science is the study of the nature and behavior of natural things and the knowledge that we obtain about them. a science is a particular branch of science such as physics, chemistry, or biology. physics is the best example of a science which has developed strong, abstract theories.

pseudoscience is a collection of beliefs or practices mistakenly regarded as being based on scientific method.
