Question

Beth, a construction worker, attempts to pull
a stake out of the ground by pulling on a rope
that is attached to the stake. The rope makes
an angle of 69.6 with the horizontal.
If Beth exerts a force of 132.3 N on the
rope, what is the magnitude of the upward
component of the force acting on the stake?

Answer in units of N

Answer 1

\[132.3\sin 69.6=Fty\]124.002 N you need to do
\[\sin 69.6=Fty/132.3N\]
then
\[132.3\sin 69.6 = Fty\]

Answer 2

draw a force diagram

Answer 3

Fty = 124.002N
