3-7. The device shown is used to straighten the frames of wrecked autos. Determine the tension of each segment of the chain, i.e., AB and BC, if the force which the hydraulic cylinder DB exerts on point B is 3.50 kN, as shown.
The hydraulic cylinder $B C$ exerts on member $A B$ a force $P$ directed along line $B C$. Knowing that $P$ must have a 600 -N component perpendicular to member $A B$, determine $(a)$ the magnitude of the force $P,(b)$ its component along line $A B .$
