Answer

$$ =(+797 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{i}}+(265 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} $$

Work Step by Step

(b) Equilibrium of horizontal and vertical forces on beam $A$ readily yields $$ G_x=-F_x=797 \mathrm{~N}, \quad G_y=m_A g-F_y=265 \mathrm{~N} . $$ In unit-vector notation, we have $$ \vec{G}=G_x \hat{\mathrm{i}}+G_y \hat{\mathrm{j}}=(+797 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{i}}+(265 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} . $$
