$2$

A rectangular plate is acted upon by the force and couple shown. This system is to be replaced with a single equivalent force. The force acting at point $B$ is $F_B=43N.$

For $=40,$ determine the magnitude and the location of the line of action of the equivalent force.

The magnitude of the equivalent force is $$ final answer to three decimal places.$)N$ and the line of action $F$ intersects line $AB$ at $$ m to the left of $B.($Round the
