The y-component of the force f which a person exerts on the handle of the box wrench is known to be 86 lb. determine the x-component and the magnitude of f.

x-component of force is  38.18 lb where as magnitude of Force is 93.16

Explanation:

Fy of the force F exerted on the handle of the box wrench = 86 lb

Considering the triangle in Fig 1

magnitude of perpendicular = P =  12

magnitude of base = B = 5

using Pythagoras theorem

y-component of force is given given as:

a longitudinal wave moves energy that is to the direction of the wave’s movement. - true
