    Magnitude of The Force Supported at Point A

    I figured it out, I just had to round to 2.10. Thanks collinsmark!

    Magnitude of The Force Supported at Point A

    The x-component of the force at A = 3.10-2.9 = 0.2 After Pythagorean theorem the force at A comes to 2.099Kn which the system says is incorrect.

    Magnitude of The Force Supported at Point A

    Gah! Typos are an enemy today. I did use 135*cos(34) and ended up with FA=2.09Kn.

    Magnitude of The Force Supported at Point A

    I changed my calculation to 135*sin(34) and re-did all of my calculations to get a final answer of FA=2.09Kn, but that's still wrong.

    Good catch Phantom, I fixed it. Doesn't change the final answer though.
