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 \( F \) in relation to the fiber directions at point \( A \) is provided. If the magnitude \( F=1.7 \mathrm{kN} \), determine the components \( F_{d} \) and \( F \), of the force \( F \) alons the oblique axes \( a \) and \( b \). Also determine the projections \( P_{0} \) and \( P_{b} \) of \( F \) onto the \( a-b \) axes.
