Answer

$F_B = 6300 ~N$ $F_A + F_B = 8400 ~N$

Work Step by Step

The sum of the horizontal forces is 0. Therefore: $F_{Bx} = F_{Ax}$ $F_B ~sin(32^{\circ}) = 4500 ~sin(48^{\circ})$ $F_B = \frac{4500 ~sin(48^{\circ})}{sin(32^{\circ})}$ $F_B = 6300 ~N$ Next, we find $F_A + F_B$: $F_A + F_B = F_{Ay} + F_{By}$ $F_A + F_B = 4500 ~cos(48^{\circ}) + 6300 ~cos(32^{\circ})$ $F_A + F_B = 8400 ~N$
