Design method that used to remove several fence posts


A farmer wishes to remove several fence posts. Each post is buried 18 in. in the ground and will require a maximum vertical pulling force of 175lbs to remove it. He can use his truck to develop the force, but he needs to devise a method for their removal without breaking the posts. Design a method that can be used, considering that the only materials available are strong rope and several pieces of wood having various sizes and lengths. Submit a sketch of your design and discuss the safety and reliability of its use. Also, provide a force analysis to show how it works and why it will cause minimal damage to a post when it is removed.
