Calculate the moment about C, and leave the answer in terms of the unknow force of magnitude |FB|

After that Caclulate |FB|

Two farmers are pushing on a gate with forces FA and FB, applied at locations A and
B respectively. The gate has a hinge at C and you may neglect the thickness of the
gate. Assume that the gate is in static equilibrium. The force FA is applied at an angle
of a = 30° and the force FB is applied at an angle of 3 = 35°. The distance
between Band the hinge at C'is DBC = 2 m, and the distance between A and the
hinge at C is DAC = 3 m. Suppose that FA|
= 400 N.
