Vector problem, magnitude of the force

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the magnitude of force P and its vertical component, given that the horizontal component is 1237 N. Participants clarify that "N" refers to Newtons, the unit of force. A right triangle is suggested to visualize the relationship between the hypotenuse (force P) and its components. The horizontal component is confirmed to be 1237 N, leading to calculations for the vertical component. The conversation concludes with a resolution of the problem and acknowledgment of assistance received.
