Do points A & B lie on the same horizontal? How far apart are A & B?
Is there a diagram given?

Can you find a similar example that you have done in class or from a textbook? Then give it a go and post your attempt. If you really have no idea where to start, try doing a force diagram? What have you been taught so far?

Thank you.

Draw a free-body-diagram of the forces acting at P.

Can you apply Law of equilibrium of concurrent forces at P?
