Two slender rods of negligible weight are pin-connected at C and attached to blocks A and B

Question:

Two slender rods of negligible weight are pin-connected at C and attached to blocks A and B each of weight W. Knowing that θ = 70o and that the coefficient of static friction between the blocks and the horizontal surface is 0.30, determine the largest value of P for which equilibrium is maintained.
