HW1011

A horizontal force $P$ is applied to the handle of the puller.

Determine, in terms of force $P$, the tension $T$ in the chain and the magnitude and direction of the force acting on the handle at pin $A$.

$\bar{T} = \text{5.36 P}$ at 20° down and to the right

$\bar{A} = \text{4.43 P}$ at 24.4° up and to the left
