Problem 1 of 2
A container of weight W = 1000 N is suspended from a ring to which cables AC and AE are
securely attached. A force P is applied to the end F of a third cable that passes over a pulley at
B, which is then threaded through ring A (which can be assumed to be frictionless) and is
attached to the support at D. Determine the magnitude of force P.
