Rod AB is the firing pin for the right-hand barrel of a side-by-side shotgun. During firing, end A is impacted by the hammer, which imparts a force F to the firing pin. The force F lies in a plane paral lei to the .xy plane but the firing pin has a three-dimensional orientation as shown. Determine the components of F in directions parallel and perpendicular to the firing pin.
