13) A portion of the flue for a furnace
is attached to the ceiling at A. While
supporting the free end of the flue at
F, a worker applies the forces indicated
at E and F and the couple M (applied to
portion CB) to align end E with the
furnace. Knowing that the 95 N force
at F lies in a plane parallel to the yz
plane, determine (a) the angle a the
force at F should form with the
horizontal if duct AB is not to tend to
rotate about the vertical axis, (b) the
equivalent force-couple system at A of
the given system, (c) further
