Asked by Faria

A pair of 328.1 N vectors are perpendicular. What is the magnitude of their resultant? Answer in units of N.
Answered by Damon
diagonal of square :)
1^2 +1^2 = 2
so
328.1 sqrt 2 Newtons
Answered by Faria
Thats also what I got originally but its incorrect :(
Answered by Damon
Then something is cockeyed in the problem statement or in the answer choices.
Answered by Faria
What should I submit as an answer? 2?
Answered by Damon
328.1 sqrt 2 = 464.0 N
they want 4 significant figures so write it that way.
Answered by Damon
That is all I can think of.

Thank you so much Damon for your help!!! :)
