For a given angle of theta the toggle joint becomes


A toggle joint is a mechanism by which a comparatively small force P produces or balances a force F that increases rapidly as the angle θ approaches 180°. For a given angle of θ the toggle joint becomes equivalent to a simple truss. Force P=10 lb, a=2 ft, b=5 ft, and c=1 ft, as shown. Find force F. Neglect friction and the weights of the members.
