In the diagram above, forces P, Q and 50N are acting on a body at M. If the system is in equilibrium, calculate, in terms of (theta), the magnitude of P.

  • A.
    (frac{50 cos theta}{sin (theta + 45)°})
  • B.
    (frac{50 cos theta}{cos (theta + 45)°})
  • C.
    (frac{50 sin theta}{cos (theta + 45)°})
  • D.
    (frac{50 sin theta}{sin (theta + 45)°})
Correct Answer: Option D
