Question

13. Forces, applied on an object, along the same direction add to one another; if
the forces are applied in opposite direction (on a given object), the net force
acting on it is the difference between the forces, this net force acts along the
direction of the larger force.
If a box of mass 'm' has to be moved from position A to position B, the force
has to be applied in such a manner so that the box moves in the direction
towards position B. The magnitude of force applied depends on its mass 'm
which determines the force with which box is pressing the surface on which
it is lying
(a) Detine 'balanced forces'.

Answer 1

Answer:

If two forces act on a body in the same direction, the result is that the magnitude of the net force acting on the body is the sum of the magnitudes of these two forces.

In case the lines of action of these two forces are not the same then it is possible that in some cases there may be a torque generated, the magnitude and direction of which would depend on the distance of these two forces from the axis of rotation.

Hence, net force is the addition of forces.
