Force Components Example on a Rotated Axis [Vector Statics #17]

We have a hydraulic press, BD, that exerts a force upwards onto member ABC with a perpendicular component of 750N. Using this information, we need to determine the magnitude of the force exerted onto member ABC as well as the component that is parallel to ABC.
