Blocks A and B have masses of 200 kg and 100 kg, respectively. They rest on a 30° inclined plane and are attached to the post which is held perpendicular to the plane by force P parallel to the plane. Assuming that all surfaces are smooth and that the cords are parallel to the plane, determine the magnitude of the applied force P.
