The document summarizes solving a math problem to determine the values of three forces (P1, P2, P3) given the resultant force R is 200kN. It defines direction vectors for each force and sets up an equation to solve for the unknown force values. The solution finds that P1 is 805.536N, P2 is 338.399N, and P3 is 338.399N.
