\end{figure} The uniform lamina \(A B C\) has sides \(A B = A C = 13 a\) and \(B C = 10 a\). The lamina is freely suspended from \(A\). A horizontal force of magnitude \(F\) is applied to the lamina at \(B\), as shown in Figure 1. The line of action of the force lies in the vertical plane containing the lamina. The lamina is in equilibrium with \(A B\) vertical. The weight of the lamina is \(W\). Find \(F\) in terms of \(W\).
