Question: 1 . You are moving a large object ( F 1 = 5 5 0 # ) into a building ( as shown looking down.

1. You are moving a large object (F1=550#) into a building (as shown looking down. in a plan view to the right). You decide to use an eyebolt anchored to a concrete backwall to help with the move. The arrow on the left (F1=550#) represents two wire ropes that pass from the large object through the eyelet. You have two winches. The smaller one is fixed in place and has a maximum capacity of F2=150# (as shown on the top, right). The bigger one is mounted to a truck bumper and can be moved to pull where you need it to within a limited range of the angle The winch on the bumper has a limited capacity and is represented by the unknown force, P.
The anchor into the wall has a pullout
force capacity that requires you to limit the force to F3=600# as shown. Find the angle, and the force, P that will balance these forces but use the full pullout capacity of the anchor. Assume this is all in one horizontal plane
