Answer

$Θ=21.3^0$ $F_1 = 869 N$

Work Step by Step

* Summing Forces in X direction, We get $800 Sin 60^0 = F_1 Sin(60^0 + Θ) - \frac{12}{13}(180) $ $F_1Sin(60^0+Θ) = 858.9N$ * Summing Forces in Y direction, We get $800 Cos 60^0 = F_1 Cos(60^0 + u) + 200 +\frac{5}{13}(180)$ $F_1Cos(60^0+Θ) = 130.76N$ $Finding$ $Θ:$ $\frac{Sin(60^0+Θ)}{Cos(60^0+Θ)}=\frac{858.9/F_1}{130.76/F_1}$ $tan(60^0+Θ)=\frac{858.9}{130.76}$ $60^0 + Θ=81.34^0$ $Θ=21.34$ Then $F_1=\frac{858.9}{Sin(81.34^0)}$ $F_1 = 869N$
