Can I have a more detailed explanation for number 2 please. Thank you. I dont get where the distances of the 7200 lb force (8-5) and (5-4) came from.

To solve for the forces independently, extend the action line of two unknown forces and
take the moment of forces at the point of intersection. (Recall the moment of a force
about a point along its line of action is zero)
+u £ Mg = 0
forces P and F are concurrent at B
(3600)(12) – (T)(8) = 0
T = 5400 lb
+u £Mp
-(3600)(12) + (1200)(24) +(F)(36) = 0
