A 135-lb cylinder is supported by two cables AC and BC that are attached to the top of vertical posts. A horizontal force P, which is perpendicular to the plane containing the posts, holds the cylinder in the position shown. Knowing that: a=10.5ftb=16.4ftc=3.0ftd=6.9ft? Calculate the value of the force P and enter your answer to one decimal point. Include units.
