Example on Finding the Force's Magnitude with a Known Component [Vector Statics #16]
In this structural system, we have member BD that acts on member ABC. The force that member BD exerts is unknown but its horizontal component is known to be 400N to the left. Using this information, we'll calculate the force's magnitude and the vertical component.
