1. **Problem Statement:** A body moves 6 m north, 8 m east, and 10 m vertically upwards. We need to find its resultant displacement from the initial position.
2. **Formula Used:** The resultant displacement in 3D space can be found using the Pythagorean theorem extended to three dimensions:
$$ R = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + z^2} $$
where $x$, $y$, and $z$ are the displacements along the east, north, and vertical directions respectively.
3. **Given Values:**
- $x = 8$ m (east)
- $y = 6$ m (north)
- $z = 10$ m (upwards)
4. **Calculation:**
$$ R = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2 + 10^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36 + 100} = \sqrt{200} $$
5. **Simplification:**
$$ \sqrt{200} = \sqrt{100 \times 2} = 10\sqrt{2} \approx 14.14 \text{ m} $$
6. **Conclusion:** The resultant displacement from the initial position is approximately 14.14 meters.
