s on Engineering Mechanics It is desired to remove the spike from the timber by applying force along its horizontal ax An obstruction 'A' prevents direct access, so that two forces, one 1.6 kN and the other P, a applied by cables as shown. Compute the magnitude of P necessary to ensure a resultant directed along the spike. Also find T. 200 mm A 100 mm 150 mm 1.6 kN
