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
.
