1. **Stating the problem:**
We are given a rectangular prism (balok) with vertices labeled as follows:
- Bottom face: P, Q, R, S
- Top face: T, U, V, W
We need to find the vector expression:
$$\overrightarrow{TW} - \overrightarrow{QS} + \overrightarrow{UV}$$
2. **Understanding the vectors:**
- $\overrightarrow{TW}$ is the vector from point T to point W.
- $\overrightarrow{QS}$ is the vector from point Q to point S.
- $\overrightarrow{UV}$ is the vector from point U to point V.
3. **Assigning coordinates for clarity:**
Assume the rectangular prism is axis-aligned with:
- $P = (0,0,0)$ (bottom-front-left)
- $Q = (a,0,0)$ (bottom-front-right)
- $R = (a,b,0)$ (bottom-back-right)
- $S = (0,b,0)$ (bottom-back-left)
- $T = (0,0,c)$ (top-front-left)
- $U = (a,0,c)$ (top-front-right)
- $V = (a,b,c)$ (top-back-right)
- $W = (0,b,c)$ (top-back-left)
4. **Calculate each vector:**
- $$\overrightarrow{TW} = W - T = (0,b,c) - (0,0,c) = (0,b,0)$$
- $$\overrightarrow{QS} = S - Q = (0,b,0) - (a,0,0) = (-a,b,0)$$
- $$\overrightarrow{UV} = V - U = (a,b,c) - (a,0,c) = (0,b,0)$$
5. **Substitute into the expression:**
$$\overrightarrow{TW} - \overrightarrow{QS} + \overrightarrow{UV} = (0,b,0) - (-a,b,0) + (0,b,0)$$
6. **Simplify step-by-step:**
$$= (0,b,0) + (a,-b,0) + (0,b,0)$$
$$= (0 + a + 0, b - b + b, 0 + 0 + 0)$$
$$= (a, b, 0)$$
7. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{(a,b,0)}$$
This vector points from the origin along the length $a$ in the x-direction and width $b$ in the y-direction, lying on the bottom face of the prism.
