Question 76872: Two jeeps at a 90 degree angle to each other try to pull a car out of the snow. If one jeep exerts a force of 600lbs. and the other exerts a force of 800lbs , what is the resulting force on the car stuck in the snow? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two jeeps at a 90 degree angle to each other try to pull a car out of the snow. If one jeep exerts a force of 600lbs. and the other exerts a force of 800lbs , what is the resulting force on the car stuck in the snow?
:
Wouldn't the resultant force be the hypotenuse formed by these two right triangles?
:
F = SqRt(600^2 + 800^2)
F = 1000 lbs
