Click the image for a surprise! An F-35 fighter jet is hovering above the ground. This is achieved by thrust force and a force from a Lift Fan Propulsion System (LFPS). The engine provides a thrust force \\( \\left(\\mathbf{F}_{T}\\right) \\) at point \\( A \\) at a known angle of \\( a \\). The centre of mass of the plane is at point \\( B \\). The force from the LFPS \\( \\left(\\mathbf{F}_{\\mathrm{fan}}\\right) \\) acts at point \\( C \\) at an unknown angle of \\( \\theta \\). These forces act such that the jet maintains equilibrium. Note: - This question can be solved without the use of simultaneous equations (Use 3 Force Bodies - Force Triangles). Given the information in the table above, determine: \\( 1) \\) the angle \\( (\\theta) \\) of the LFPS force \\( \\left(\\mathbf{F}_{\\text {fan }}\\right) \\), [degrees], (3 sigfig, measured clockwise from the negative x-axis - ??) (Note: There are extra questions that follow the first part.)
