Question: A store sign is hung by two cables from post ( A B ) . The post is hinged at ( A

A store sign is hung by two cables from post \( A B \). The post is hinged at \( A \) and is supported by cable \( B C \). It is desired to determine all forces acting on post \( A B \) by applying equilibrium to post \( A B \). The tension in cable \( D E \) is 210 N , and the tension in cable FH is 157 N .
Now that the components of the reaction force at \( A \) on post \( A B \) are known, determine the magnitude and direction of this force. For the direction portion of the force, determine the angle that the force makes in a counterclockwise direction from the positive \( x \) axis.
The magnitude of this force is N.
The direction of this force is
