A piling for a high-rise building is pushed by two bulldozers at exactly the same time One bulldozer exerts a force of 1600 pounds in a westerly direction. The other bulldozer pushes the piling with a force of 1350 pounds in a northerly direction.

What is the magnitude of the resulting force upon the piling, to the nearest tenth?

What is the direction of the resulting force upon the piling, to the nearest degree? ​

Sagot :

Answer:

The magnitude is 2093.4 lbs. The direction is 40N of W.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the magnitude you have to do a^2 + b^2 = c^2 seeing as the two other sides would make the two legs of a right triangle.

To find the direction, you do tan^-1 (1350/1600) in order to find the degree.
