This is probably a very simple question to all of you, but I have never taken a physics class, so I am lost for what I need to do for a programming problem. I will need to specify a force by inputting the newtons x, newtons y, and newtons z.
How can I calculate these 3 forces based on the desired angle and desired force for that direction?
Thank you for your time, this project is important to me.
Isaac's comment asking how the angles are given is a good one. If you specify that and the coordinate system the problem will be well posed. Guessing that it is in azimuth $(\phi )$ and elevation $(\theta )$, with $\phi =\theta =0$ along the positive x axis and positive z up, $F_x=F\cos(\theta )*\cos(\phi ), F_y=F\cos(\theta )*\sin(\phi ), F_z=F\sin(\theta )$
