a.

\

Let the vertical component of the force be \"\".

\

Magnitude of the resultant force be \"\".

\

The direction of Irwin\"\"s resultanr force is \"\".

\

The horizontal component of the force is \"\".

\

Draw a right triangle for the given data :

\

\"\"

\

Find the vertical component of the force, \"\" by using the tangent ratio.

\

From the above diagram :

\

\"\"

\

Thus, the vertical component of the force is about \"\".

\

b.

\

Find magnitude of the resultant force, \"\"  by using the cosine ratio.

\

From the above diagram :

\

\"\"

\

Thus, the magnitude of the resultant force is about \"\".

\

\

\

a.

\

The vertical component of the force is about \"\".

\
