Maybe because you're finding the "difference" between the two numbers. We could also question why the answer to an addition problem is called sum.
Well, 'sum'body said that's what they should be called a long time ago, that's why we're using that term to call them now.
No solution it’s infinite
Force 1, F1 = 90, angle 30°
Force 2, F2 = 50, angle 160°
F1 = 90 cos(30) i + 90 sin (30) j
F2 = 50 cos (160) i + 50 sin (160) j
F1 = 90*0.866 i + 90*0.5 j
F2 = 50*(- 0.940) i + 50*0.342 j
F1 = 77.94 i + 45 j
F2 = -47 i +17.10 j
Resultant force, Fr = F1 + F2
Fr = [77.94 - 47.00] i +[45 +17.10]j = 30.94 i + 62.10 j
Magnitude = √[30.94 ^2 + 62.10^2] = 69.38 pounds
Direction = arctan[62.10/30.94] = 63.52 °
Part A - 14 sections of fencing
Part B - 0.9165 the distance between each stake
Answer:
Moving the decimal point two places to the left makes the number 1/100 of its original value.
