Problem $4$

In order to remove the spike from the timber, a

horizontal force must be applied along its axis.

Obstruction A prevents direct access. Two forces,

one $1\mathrm{.}6kN$ and the other $P$ are applied by cables.

Compute the magnitude of vec$(P)$ necessary to ensure

a resultant vec$(T)$ directed along the spike. Also, find

the magnitude of vec$(T).$
