A store sign is hung by two cables from post $AB.$ The post is hinged at A and is supported by cable $BC.$ It is desired to determine all forces acting on post $AB$ by applying equilibrium to post $AB.$ The tension in cable $DE$ is $208$ N $,$ and the tension in cable $FH$ is $152$ N $.$

Now that the components of the reaction force at $A$ on post $AB$ 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
