Solve the problem of Example 4.5 by using the force components method. Replace the polar representation of the anchor strap’s tension by the horizontal and vertical components Tx and Ty, and solve for them. Use your solution for Tx and Ty to determine the magnitude T and direction θ of the anchor strap’s tension.

Reference: Example 4.5

During crash testing of an automobile, the lap and shoulder seat belts develop tensions of 300 lb. Treating the buckle B as a particle, determine the tension T in the anchor strap AB, and the angle at which it acts. (See Figure 4.17.)
