Answer

$F_R = 389$ $Θ_R' = 42.71^0$

Work Step by Step

* Summing Forces In X direction $F_{Rx} =300Sin70^0 -\frac{12}{13}(180) $ $F_{Rx} = 115.8N$ * Summing Forces In X direction $F_{Ry} =300SCos70^0 +200+\frac{5}{13}(180) $ $F_{Ry} = 371.8N$ Magnitude: $F_R = \sqrt {(115.8)^2+(371.8)^2}$ $F_R = 389N$ Directrion $Θ_R$ $Θ_R = tan^{-1}[\frac{371.8}{115.8}]$ $Θ_R = 72.71^0$ Direction wrt positive x' axis $Θ_R'$ $Θ_R' = 72.71^0 - 30^0$ $Θ_R' = 42.71^0$
