From the images you've provided, we can analyze the problem involving the forces acting on a ring and break down the solution for Parts C and D.

To solve for the angles \( \beta \) and \( \gamma \) (the coordinate direction angles of the resultant force), let's follow the general approach, assuming that we know or can determine the \( x \)-, \( y \)-, and \( z \)-components of the resultant force \( \mathbf{F_R} \).

### Steps for Calculating \( \beta \) and \( \gamma \)

1. **Identify the Components of the Resultant Force**:  
   The resultant force \( F_R \) was given as \( 581 \, \text{N} \) with an angle \( \alpha = 72.5^\circ \) (the angle with the \( x \)-axis). Now, we need the angles \( \beta \) and \( \gamma \), which represent the angles with the \( y \)-axis and \( z \)-axis, respectively.

2. **Use the Relationship for Direction Cosines**:  
   The angles \( \alpha \), \( \beta \), and \( \gamma \) satisfy:
   \[
   \cos^2 \alpha + \cos^2 \beta + \cos^2 \gamma = 1
   \]
   Using the known angle \( \alpha \), we can solve for \( \cos \beta \) and \( \cos \gamma \).

3. **Calculate \( \beta \) and \( \gamma \)**:  
   - To find \( \beta \), use the \( y \)-component of the force, if available.
   - To find \( \gamma \), use the \( z \)-component of the force, which often aligns with a vertical force.

Do you have the component values for \( F_R \) along the \( x \)-, \( y \)-, and \( z \)-axes? This will allow for precise calculation of \( \beta \) and \( \gamma \). If not, I can guide you through calculating these components based on the force diagram. 

Let me know if you'd like a more detailed breakdown or further guidance.

Here are five related questions for deeper understanding:

1. How would you calculate \( \beta \) if you had only the \( y \)-component of the force?
2. What does each coordinate direction angle represent in terms of the force's orientation?
3. How can you verify the resultant force calculation?
4. Why is the sum of squares of the direction cosines equal to 1?
5. How would a change in one of the forces affect the resultant direction angles?

**Tip**: When working with 3D forces, always break each force into its components along the \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \)-axes to simplify the calculation of resultant force and angles.

Determine the coordinate direction angles (alpha, beta, gamma) of the resultant force acting on a ring with three forces applied.
