A sheet of an experimental composite is subjected to a simple tension test to determine its strength along a particular direction. The composite is reinforced by the Kevlar fibers shown and a close-up showing the direction of the applied tension force \( \mathrm{F} \) in relation to the fiber directions at point \( A \) is provided. If the magnitude \( F=4.5 \mathrm{kN} \), determine the components \( F_{a} \) and \( F_{b} \) of the force \( F \) along the oblique axes \( a \) and \( b \). Also determine the projections \( P_{a} \) and \( P_{b} \) of \( \mathrm{F} \) onto the \( a \) - \( b \) axes. Answers: \[ F_{a}=\quad \mathrm{kN} \] \[ \begin{array}{ll} F_{b}= & \mathrm{kN} \\ P_{a}= & \mathrm{kN} \end{array} \] \[ P_{b}=\quad \mathrm{kN} \]
