The block shown in the figure below is being pulled on by a rope and pulley system. A force of P is applied to the end of the rope. The angles are given as: α (alpha) = 26 (deg), and β (beta) = 9 (deg). The block has a mass, m = 28(kg). The coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.27. Find the force P, which is required to give the block a steady upward acceleration of 3.2 (m/s2). Express your answer in Newtons.
