Homework Statement
Member BC exerts on Member AC a force P directed along line knowing that P must have a 325 N horizontal component, determine (a) the magnitude of the force P,
Homework Equations
Trig I suppose
The Attempt at a Solution
So I'm not sure if this correct
I found two angles using the lengths of 720 mm and 650 mm (90, 42.1 and 47.9)
I then used the equation Fx = F*Cos( ) to fin dthe magnitude of P
325 N = F Cos(47.9) ----> 484.76 N
