It is desired to remove the spike from the timber by applying force along its horizontal axis. An obstruction \(A\) prevents direct access, so that two forces, one \(370 \mathrm{lb}\) and the other \(\mathbf{P}\), are applied by cables as shown. Compute the magnitude of \(\mathbf{P}\) necessary to ensure a resultant \(\mathbf{T}\) directed along the spike. Also find \(T\).
Angle which the force P makes with center of the spike( shown by dotted line)
\(\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{5^{\prime \prime}}{10^{\prime \prime}}\right)=26.565^{\circ}\)
Similarly Angle made by force \(370 \mathrm{lb}\) with the dotted line( below that line) is
\(\phi=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{8^{\prime \prime}}{10^{\prime \prime}}\right)=38.66^{\circ}\)
Then since there has to no motion in vertical direction then balancing force in vertical direction,
\(P \sin \theta=F \sin \phi\)
using given and calculated values in above,
\(P \sin 26.56^{\circ}=(370 l b) \sin 38.66^{\circ}\)
\(P=516.931 l b\) (ANS)
Now balancing forces in horizontal direction,
\(T=P \cos \theta+F \cos \phi\) (Since "T" is directed towards spike or towards left)
using calculated and given values in above,
\(T=(516.931) \cos 26.56^{\circ}+(370) \cos 38.66^{\circ}\)
\(T=462.377+288.92=751.297 l b\) (ANS)
it is desired to remove the spike from the timber by applying force along its horizontal axis,
