Hi I am trying to solve this question in my book but i am not getting the write answer , can some one explain this.

Question : The approximate force which would tend to impact the proximal fragment on the nail and distal fragment in the diagram above is ---------- NEWTONS?

I tried to solve this question using simple trigonometry and resolution of forces but could not get the answer. The question is asking for the forces in the nail.



THE DIAGRAM IS ATTACHED
