A piling for a high-rise building is pushed by two bulldozers at exactly the same time. One bulldozer exerts a force of 1250 pounds in a westerly direction. The other bulldozer pushes the piling with a force of 2650 pounds in a northerly direction. What is the magnitude of the resultant force upon the piling, to the nearest ten pounds? a. 2340 lbs. c. 3900 lbs. b. 2670 lbs. d. 2930 lbs.]

(d) 2930 lbs

Explanation:

Given:

Force acting in the westerly direction is,

Force acting in the northerly direction is,

Now, as the two given directions are at right angles to each other, the angle between the two force vectors is 90 degrees.

So, when two vectors are at right angles, their resultant magnitude is given as:

Plug in the given values and solve for resultant 'R'. This gives,

Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force upon the piling is 2930 lbs.

So, option (d) is correct.

it's when something is going so fast it makes a loud noise, breaking the sound barrier, for example: a jet makes a loud noise, not only cause of the jet but because they reached a point where they went so fast that you can year the noise from various parts, kinda like a police car, lets say the car was going   so fast that you hear the siren of the cop car right next to you, but the car is probably a mile a way, it's cos the siren was next to you a few seconds if you understand me
