Force - lateral direction (-,+):
5 * cos(34) - 7 * cos(16) = 4.15 - 6.72 = -2.58
Force in the upward direction (negative download, positive upward):
Resulting force is left and upward:
√((4.72543)^2 + (-2.58364)^2))= 5.38
at an angle of:
Tan-1(4.72/(-2.58)) = -61.34°, or 28.66° above the horizontal
