Three forces act on a machine part which is free to slide along a vertical, frictionless rod. Forces A and B have a magnitude of 20N and force C has a magnitude of 30 N. Force B acts a degrees from the horizontal, and force C acts at the same angle from the vertical. Determine the angle a required for equilibrium, and the magnitude and direction of the reaction force acting on the slider.
