This document provides the solution to a physics problem involving determining the magnitude and direction of a force (P) applied to a lever of an arbor press. Given the x, y, and z components of the moment (Mx, My, Mz), the solver uses MathCad to set up and solve equations relating the moments to P, θ, and φ. The solution finds P = 186.762 N, θ = 48.089 degrees, and φ = 9.866 degrees.

M x := 26N m P := 1N Given

M y := -23N m := 0deg

M z := -4N m

:= 1deg

M x = ( P cos( ) ) [ ( 225mm) sin( ) ] - ( P sin( ) ) [ ( 225mm) cos( ) ] M y = -( P cos( ) ) ( 125mm) M z = -( P sin( ) ) ( 125mm)

P := Find(P , ,)

P = 186.762 N

= 48.089 deg

= 9.866 deg
