PROBLEM 2: A TRICKY STRUT An orange strut of length I is connected to a wall via a pivot at the bottom. An additional (blue rope) also connects the strut to the wall attached at an angle 01. A load of weight W is hanging from the strut; the load makes an angle 2 with the strut as shown in the diagram. In order to stabilize the system, and additional force needs to be applied. That force, which is labeded C in the diagram, makes an angle p with respect to the strut as shown. What is o?

PRO BLEM 2: A TRICKY STRUT
An orange strut of length l is connected to a wall via a
pi vot at the bottom. An additional (blue rope) also connec ts
the strut to the wall attached at an angle 01. A load of weight
W is hanging from the strut; the load makes an angle 02 with
the strut as shown in the diagram. In order to stabilize the
system, and additional force needs to be applied. That force,
which is labeled C in the diagram, makes an angle p with
respect to the strut as shown. What is o?
