The free body diagram of link 4 is shown below where the forces
F14 and F34 are unknown in magnitude and direction.
To solve for T2 we first replace F34 with the components FT34 and
FR34 so that their directions are known to be along and transverse
to O4B.
We now want to evaluate MO4 = 0 = hT34*FT34 - hP*P or
FT34 = P(hP/hT34) = 75 lbf
To determine FR34 in magnitude and direction we must
move to the free body diagram of link 3.
