Question
**Problem Statement:**

Determine the magnitudes of the force \( R \) and couple \( M \) exerted by the nut and bolt on the loaded bracket at \( O \) to maintain equilibrium.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a bracket with forces exerted at different sections. Key measurements and angles in the diagram are as follows:

- The bracket extends vertically \( 155 \, \text{mm} \) from the point \( O \).
- A horizontal section extends \( 200 \, \text{mm} \) from the vertical, forming the first bend.
- The base horizontal section is \( 150 \, \text{mm} \) in length.
  
Two forces of \( 2.9 \, \text{kN} \) are applied at \( 48^\circ \) and \( 22^\circ \) to the horizontal axis \( x \). The first force is directed upwards to the left, and the second force is directed upwards to the right.

**Solution Inputs:**

- **\( R \)**: Force magnitude, in kilonewtons (kN)
  - Input box for the value in kN.
  
- **\( M \)**: Couple magnitude, in kilonewton-meters (kN·m)
  - Input box for the value in kN·m.

**Answers to be calculated:**

- \( R = \) [Input Box] kN
- \( M = \) [Input Box] kN·m
