Question: A 5 8 lb force ( mathbf { F } ) is applied to the control rod ( A B

A 58 lb force \(\mathbf{F}\) is applied to the control rod \( A B \) as shown. Knowing that the length of the rod is 20 inches and that \(\alpha \) is \(85^{\circ}\), determine the perpendicular distance from the line of action of force \(\mathbf{F}\) to point \( B \), and the magnitude of the moment produced.
