Question
![**Item 10**
You are using a hammer to pull a nail from the floor, as shown in (Figure 1). Force \( \vec{F}_2 \) is the force you apply to the handle, and force \( \vec{F}_1 \) is the force the hammer applies to the nail. Suppose that the maximum magnitude of the force \( \vec{F}_2 \) that you can apply to the hammer is 25 lb.
### Part A
If you apply this force, what is the magnitude of the force \( \vec{F}_1 \) that the hammer applies to the nail?
Express your answer in pounds.
\[ F_1 = \] (Answer box) lb

**Figure 1 Description**
The figure shows a hammer being used to pull a nail from the floor. The hammer handle is inclined at an angle of \(60^\circ\) with the ground. There are two forces indicated in the figure:
- \( \vec{F}_2 \) is the force applied by the user on the handle, directed vertically upward.
- \( \vec{F}_1 \) is the force applied by the hammer on the nail, directed to the right and slightly downward at a \(60^\circ\) angle from the vertical.
There are two key measurements in the figure:
- The perpendicular distance from the point where the handle meets the hammer head (point A) to the other end of the handle is 0.300 meters.
- The distance from point A to the nail along the ground is 0.080 meters.
This diagram helps visualize the lever mechanics of the hammer in pulling the nail.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/19d7344f-b488-43af-b6d9-a8a348fcf65c/2b1b6577-8552-45cb-8f1c-f7e1d68b1f11/d8zrvx6_thumbnail.jpeg)
