Determine the design angle \theta (0°\leq\theta \leq90°)θ(0°≤θ≤90°) for strut AB so that the 400-lb horizontal force has a component of 500 lb directed from A towards C.
Determine the design angle \theta (0°\leq\theta \leq90°) for strut AB so that the 400-lb horizontal force has a component of 500 lb directed from A towards C. What is the component of force acting along member AB? Take \phi= 40°.
