Can I got help how can we solve question (2) in this question angle alpha that minimize the forece P ?????? 

Figure Q1(b) shows a trolley which carries two forces of magnitudes 1600 N
and P (N). The force P makes angle a = 25° with the vertical direction in the
configuration shown in the figure. Calculate the magnitude of the force P so
that the resultant force is vertically downwards.
