Question

3. Suppose another girl pulls the heavy crate with 10 units of force in the same
direction as the girl, what will be the net force that will act on the object? Will the
object move?
10
10
20​

Answer 1

The correct option is 20 units of force.

Explanation:

• Both the girls are applying the force in the same direction so this means there will be no opposing force by either of them.

• Hence, the total force will be equal to the sum of the forces (F1 and F2), where F1 will be the force applied by one girl and F2 will be the force applied by another girl.

• Assuming that the force applied by the first girl is 10N and by the second girl is also 10N, hence the total becomes 20.
