Tyler and his cousin Kelly have attached a rope to the branch of a tree and tied a board to the other end to form a swing. Tyler sits on the board while his cousin pushes him through an angle of 25.5° and holds him there. If Tyler weighs 97.5 pounds, find the magnitude of the force Kelly must push with horizontally to keep Tyler in static equilibrium. See the figure below. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) |H| =  lb
