A specimen of composite material consisting of ceramic matrix and unidirectional ceramic fibe 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 fibe direction f , where this direction has direction angle θ_z = 40^o and remaining direction angles that are equal (i.e., θ_x = θ_y).
