Question:

A force P is applied to slider C as shown. The constant of the spring is 1.6kN/m, and the spring is un-stretched when member BD is horizontal. Neglecting friction between the slider and the guide rod and knowing that BC = BD = 150 mm, determine the magnitude of P so that θ =25° when the system is in equilibrium.
