**Analysis of a Mechanical Structure**

In the given figure, there is a mechanical structure comprised of several points and forces acting on it. The structure has different segments positioned vertically and horizontally with differing lengths. A detailed description follows:

### Structural Diagram:

**Left Diagram:**

1. **Points and Lengths:**
   - **Point D:** Positioned at the top with a vertical distance of 1.75 meters from point C.
   - **Point C:** Positioned 1.5 meters vertically from point B.
   - **Point B:** Situated 2.75 meters vertically above point A. Additionally, point B is aligned horizontally with point D.
   - **Point E:** Horizontally 2.0 meters from point D towards the right.
   - **Point F:** Horizontally 1.5 meters from point E towards the right, where force \( W \) is acting downwards.
   
2. **Angles and Distances:**
   - The distance between point G and point A is 2.25 meters with an angle \( \theta \) at point G.
   - The vertical distance from point A to point E is represented as \( h \).
   
3. **Dimensions (Given):**
   - \( h = 2.05 \) meters.
   - Tension = 85 Newtons.

**Right Diagram:**

1. **Force Analysis:**
   - The diagram represents the axial force, bending moment, and vertical shear force (\( V \)) acting on the segment between points A and A under the shear force diagram.

### Problem Statement:

You are required to determine the magnitude of the internal axial force (in Newtons) based on the given dimensions and tension.

### Given Data:

- \( h = 2.05 \) meters
- Tension = 85 Newtons

### Objective:

- Calculate the **magnitude of the internal axial force** in Newtons.

### Procedure:

1. **Analyse Forces and Moments:**
   - Consider the forces acting on each point and the distances between them.
   - Consider the vertical and horizontal distances as well as the angles formed by the structure.

2. **Apply Principles of Mechanics:**
   - Use principles of static equilibrium which include summation of forces in horizontal and vertical directions and summation of moments about a point.
   - Calculate the internal axial force accordingly.

By thoroughly analyzing the given structure and applying the concepts of tension and force distribution,
