The exercise machine is designed with a lightweight cart which is mounted on small rollers so that it is free to move along the inclined ramp as shown Two cables are attached to the cart-one for each hand. If the hands are together so that the cables are parallel and if each cable lies essentially in a vertical plane, determine the magnitude of the force P which each hand must exert on its cable in order to maintain an equilibrium position shown. Note: The mass of the person is 70 kg, the ramp angle theta is 15 degrees, and the angle beta is 18 degrees.
