f Beth exerts a force of 157
.
9 N on the
rope, what is the magnitude of the upward
component of the force acting on the stake?
Answer in units of N
To find the magnitude of the upward component of the force acting on the stake, we need to determine the force's components. The given force is 157.9 N, and we need to find the upward component.
In this case, we need to use trigonometry. Let's assume that the angle between the rope and the stake is θ (theta). To find the upward component, we need to calculate the force multiplied by the cosine of the angle:
Upward component = Force * cos(θ)
However, since we don't have the angle value, we'll need more information to calculate the magnitude of the upward component. If the angle is given, substitute the value into the formula:
Upward component = 157.9 N * cos(θ)
If you have additional information or the angle value, kindly provide it so that I can help you with the calculation.
