The gusset plate G of a bridge joint is subjected to the two member forces at A and B. If the force at B is horizontal and the force at A is directed at = 30°, determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.

R = 458 N, = 97.5° CCW
R = 252 N, = 82.5° CCW
R = 252 N, = 97.5° CCW
R = 458 N, = 82.5° CCW

If = 20° and = 35°, determine the magnitudes of F1 and F2 so that the resultant force has a magnitude of 20 lb and is directed along the positive x axis.

F1 = 20.0 lb, F2 = 22.9 lb
F1 = 25.6 lb, F2 = 26.6 lb
F1 = 28.5 lb, F2 = 11.91 lb
F1 = 14.00 lb, F2 = 8.35 lb
