A specimen of composite material consisting of ceramic matrix and unidirectional ceramic fiber reinforcing is tested in a laboratory under compressive loading. If a 10 kN force is applied in the − z. direction, determine the components, and vector components, of this force in directions parallel and perpendicular to the fiber direction f. where this direction has direction angle θz = 40° and remaining direction angles that are equal (i.e., θx = θy)
