Determine the magnitude and direction of the force p that


A 160-kg load is supported by the rope-and-pulley arrangement shown. Knowing that b=20°, determine the magnitude and direction of the force P that must be exerted on the free end of the rope to maintain equilibrium. (Hint: The tension in the rope is the same on each side of a simple pulley. This can be proved by the methods of Chap. 4.)
