Explanation:

Kindly find attached for your reference

This problem bothers on the topic of work energy and power

Given data

Applied force = 3200 pounds

Angle of application = 25°

We know that the horizontal force =

F= 3200cos 25°

Hence the vertical component of this force = F= 3200sin 25

=3200*0.42261

= 1352.352

to the nearest pound

F = 1352pound
