It is desired to remove the spike from the timber by applying force along its horizontal axis. An obstruction A prevents direct acce that two forces, one 520 lb and the other P, are applied by cables as shown. Compute the magnitude of P necessary to ensure a resultant T directed along the spike. Also find T. r -8" 3" A 5" 520 lb Answers: P= lb T- i lb
