Question

Consider a frame that is made up of two thin massless rods $A B$ and $A C$ as shown in the figure. A vertical force $\vec{P}$ of magnitude $100 N$ is applied at point $A$ of the frame.

Suppose the force is $\vec{P}$ resolved parallel to the arms $A B$ and $A C$ of the frame. The magnitude of the resolved component along the arm $A C$ is $x N$ . The value of $x$ , to the nearest integer, is ________.

[Given : $\sin (35 °) = 0.573, \cos (35 °) = 0.819, \sin (110 °) = 0.939, \cos (110 °) = - 0.342$ ]
