It is desired to remove the spike from the timber by appying force along its horizontal axis. An obstruction "A" prevents direct acess, so that two forces, one 400LB and the other "P" are applied by cables as shown. Here we want to investigate the effects of the distance between the spike adn the obstruction on the two forces so replace 8" by "d" in the figure. Determine the magnitude of "P" necessary to insure a resultant "T" directed along the spike. Please show all work and FBD thank you!
