The boat is to be pulled onto the shore using two ropes. If the resultant force is to be 400N, directed along the keel aa as shown, determine the magnitude of forces T and P acting in each rope and the angles 0 of P so that the magnitude of P is a minimum. T acts at 30° from the keel as shown. ( Ans: 0= 60° , P= 200 N, T = 346 N)
