Consider the rudder assembly of a radio-controlled model airplane. For the 19° position shown in the figure, the net pressure acting on
the left side of the rectangular rudder area is p = 4.2(10-5) N/mm². Determine the required force P in the control rod DE and the
horizontal components of the reactions at hinges Ay and By which are parallel to the rudder surface. (The positive y direction extends
horizontally from the hinge axis AB along the rudder surface toward the rear.) Assume the aerodynamic pressure to be uniform.
