A student's head is bent over her physics book. The head weighs P= 45.8 N and is supported by the muscle force F exerted by the neck extensor muscles and

by the contact force F, exerted at the atlantooccipital joint. Given that the magnitude of F is 60.0 N and is directed 35.0° below the horizontal. Find the magnitude of the contact force F.
