exactly that's my problem what the P forcekuruman said:
The horizntal component is given as 1237 N. "N" is the unit for force in SI, newton.sHatDowN said:

Can you draw a right triangle with P as the hypotenuse where the other two sides are vertical (label this one Py) and horizontal (label this one Px)?sHatDowN said:

Sorry sir but we don't have any length of p-x or p-y.kuruman said:
Yes sorry sir i find out please check .kuruman said:
I don't understand what you mean by this. Please post a drawing of the triangle like you have in post #14 with the label 1237 N next to the side that you think corresponds to it.sHatDowN said:
kuruman said:
Is what you have labeled with 1237 N the horizontal component of P?sHatDowN said:
Yes i think.kuruman said:
obviously Akuruman said:
Obviously. Now look at my question in post #22 and your answer in post #23.sHatDowN said:
Yes Sir Sorry,I was on mistake.kuruman said:
OK, then fix your mistake and post the correct solution.sHatDowN said:

A vector in physics is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Examples include displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force. Vectors are typically represented by arrows, where the length of the arrow indicates the magnitude and the direction of the arrow indicates the direction of the vector.
The magnitude of a vector can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem if the vector components are known. For a vector \( \mathbf{v} = (v_x, v_y) \) in two dimensions, the magnitude is given by \( |\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2} \). In three dimensions, for a vector \( \mathbf{v} = (v_x, v_y, v_z) \), the magnitude is \( |\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2 + v_z^2} \).
The magnitude of a force vector represents the strength or intensity of the force being applied. It is a scalar quantity and is measured in units of force such as newtons (N). The larger the magnitude, the stronger the force. This is crucial in determining the effect of the force on an object, such as how much it will accelerate or deform.
To find the resultant force when multiple forces are acting on an object, you need to perform vector addition. This can be done by breaking each force into its components, summing the components in each direction, and then recombining these summed components to get the resultant vector. For example, if two forces \( \mathbf{F}_1 = (F_{1x}, F_{1y}) \) and \( \mathbf{F}_2 = (F_{2x}, F_{2y}) \) are acting on an object, the resultant force \( \mathbf{F}_R \) is given by \( \mathbf{F}_R = (F_{1x} + F_{2x}, F_{1y} + F_{2y}) \).
In a laboratory setting, tools such as force sensors, spring scales, and dynamometers are commonly used to measure the magnitude of a force. These instruments can provide readings in newtons or other units of force. Additionally, experimental setups may involve using pulleys, levers, or other mechanical systems to measure and analyze forces indirectly.
