The boat to be pulled onto the shore using two ropes. If the resultant force to be 400 N, directed along the keel aa as shown, determine the magnitudes of forces T and P acting in each rope and the angle Nof P so that the magnitude of P is a minimum. T acts at 30° from the keel as shown. 30° T 400 N
