### Problem 2.11

A laborer is hoisting a weight \( W = 200 \, \text{lb} \) by pulling on a rope as shown. Determine the force \( F \) required to hold the weight in the position shown if the resultant of \( F \) and \( W \) acts along the axis of the boom.

#### Diagram Explanation

The diagram shows a lever system attached to a truck. A worker is pulling on a rope that is connected to a boom, which holds a weight of \( W = 200 \, \text{lb} \). The boom forms an angle marked as \( 30^\circ \) with the horizontal plane. Another angle marked as \( 30^\circ \) is between the rope and the boom. The point where the force \( F \) is applied is labeled as point A, and the direction of \( F \) is shown as being along the line of action of the rope.
