Ok this problem is driving me INSANE, I did the other 34 this is my last one and I just need help on it because my brain locks up with solid only variables. The problem is below. I would appreciate steps shown to get final answer.

Thank you for including the diagram, but some effort on your behalf is required before anyone here will help. No one is going to do the question for you.
 
Any statics problem should begin with a free body diagram. Once that is done the solution usually comes easily. If you have done one you can post it for comments.
