Question 24

A mechanical linkage is set at an obtuse angle ϕ\phiϕ. The equilibrium position of the linkage is determined by the equation

(4sin⁡ϕ+cos⁡ϕ)2+(2sin⁡ϕ−2cos⁡ϕ)2=10.4 (4 \sin \phi + \cos \phi)^2 + (2 \sin \phi - 2 \cos \phi)^2 = 10.4 (4sinϕ+cosϕ)2+(2sinϕ−2cosϕ)2=10.4

Find the exact value of sin⁡ϕ\sin \phisinϕ. Fully justify your answer.
