Determine the magnitude and direction 
of the resultant force FAB exerted along link AB by the tractive apparatus shown. The suspended mass is 10 kg. Neglect the size of the pulley at A.
FAB = 170.0 N, = 75.0°
= 75.0°FAB = 170.0 N, = 15.0°
= 15.0°FAB = 98.1 N, = 75.0°
= 75.0°FAB = 98.1 N, = 15.0°
= 15.0°Discussion:

Applying Lami's theorem , angle between horizontal plane and Link AB is 15 degree and again by lami's theorem Reaction AB is 10Kg i.e. 98.1 N.
10/Sin(105+θ)= 10/sin(135-θ) so θ= 15
Now 10/Sin(105+θ) = Fab/sin(120)
So Fab = 10 Kg = 9.81*10 Kg = 98.1 N.
10/Sin(105+θ)= 10/sin(135-θ) so θ= 15
Now 10/Sin(105+θ) = Fab/sin(120)
So Fab = 10 Kg = 9.81*10 Kg = 98.1 N.

The weight of the object is experienced throughout the string in the pulley.
W = mg = 10*9.81 = 98.1 N.
Summation of forces along x-axis = 0.
F(AB) cos$-98.1 cos45-98.1 cos75 = 0.
F(AB) cos$ = 94.757 N ------- Equation 1.
Summation of forces along y-axis = 0.
F(AB) sin$-98.1sin75+98.1sin45 = 0.
F(AB) sin$ = 25.39 N -------- Equation 2.
Equation 2/Equation 1.
tan$ = 0.2679 $ = 15 deg.
From Equation 1.
F(AB) = 94.757/cos15 = 98.09 N.
Therefore D.
