A beam is loaded with a {F} force at a {theta}° angle from the horizontal, as shown.  Distance $\\overline{AB}$ is {AB}, and $\\overline{BC}$ is {BC}.

Given:

\n\n

Required: 

\n\n

Procedure:

\n
    \n
  1. Start by drawing a clear diagram representing the situation and locate point \"$x$\" where the lines of action of $\\mathbf{F}$ and $\\mathbf{C}$ intersect.  In three-force-bodies, the line of action of $\\mathbf{A}$ must pass through that point too.  
  2. \n
  3. Draw the line of action of $\\mathbf{A}$ and define $\\alpha$.\n

    \n
  4. \n
  5. Find $h$, using:  \\[\\tan\\theta = \\frac{h}{\\overline{BC}}\\]
  6. \n
  7. Find $\\alpha$:  \\[\\tan\\alpha =\\frac{h}{(\\overline{AB} + \\overline{BC})}\\]
  8. \n
  9. Rearrange the forces into a force triangle, tip-to-tail, and label it.\n

    \n
  10. \n
  11. \n

    Use the law of sines to solve for the unknown magnitudes. \\[ \\frac{F}{\\sin (90 + \\alpha)} =    \\frac{A}{\\sin (90° - \\theta)} = \\frac{C}{\\sin (\\theta-\\alpha)}\\]
