It is desired to remove the spike from the timber by applying force along Its horizontal axis. An obstruction A prevents direct access, so that two forces, F = 2 kN and the other P, are applied by cables as shown. Compute the magnitude of P (in kN) necessary to ensure a resultant T directed along the spike. 200 mm 100 mm A 150 mm F
