I need help finding Ay I have tried 17.08,-17.08 and it's still not correct. 

**Find the Forces \( A_x \) and \( A_y \).**

The diagram illustrates a rigid beam \( AC \) with a force analysis. The beam is supported at point \( A \) and there is an external load applied at point \( C \).

**Explanation of Diagram:**

- The beam \( AC \) is shown at an angle, with point \( B \) located somewhere between \( A \) and \( C \). 
- A force of 640 N is applied vertically downward at point \( C \).
- There is an angle of \( 57^\circ \) noted from a horizontal line \( BD \), indicating the line of action of some force component at point \( B \).
- The force at point \( A \) is divided into two components: \( A_x \) (horizontal) and \( A_y \) (vertical).
- Arrows represent force directions, with \( A_x \) pointing horizontally to the left and \( A_y \) pointing vertically upward.

**Results:**

- \( A_x = 413.23 \, \text{N} \)
- \( A_y = 17.08 \, \text{N} \)

This information can be used to understand the equilibrium conditions and force components acting on the beam. These forces ensure that the system remains static and balanced.
