1. The tower is held in place by three cables. If the force of each cable acting on the tower is shown, determine the magnitude and coordinate direction angles a, B, y of the resultant force. Units Used: F, kN = 10° N Given: X = 20 m a = 16 m y = 15 m b = 18 m F1 = 600 N C = 6 m F2 = 400 N d = 4 m F3 = 800 N e = 24 m
