An element with weight W = 1800 N is suspended by the ring at A and the cable system shown in the figure. The cables AC and AE are fixed at A and at the supports C and E. The DBF cable is single, runs from the support at D, through the ring at A and through the pulley at B. Calculate the force P, to be applied at point F, to ensure the balance of the system.
