Vector problem, magnitude of the force
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion revolves around calculating the magnitude of force P exerted on block B, with a known horizontal component of 1237 N. Participants clarify that N represents Newtons, the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). The horizontal component is confirmed to be 1237 N, and the vertical component is derived using trigonometric relationships, specifically SOH-CAH-TOA, leading to values of approximately 1013.29 N for the horizontal component and 709.51 N for the vertical component.
