Question

A box is at rest and a force of 250N is applied to it. If the frictional force is 200N, determine the net force. Write the solution/computation.​

Answer 1

Given,

• Force applied = 250 N

• Frictional Force = 200 N

Here, the net force can be calculated by subtracting frictional force form the force which is applied to the box.

Here, in order to oppose to oppose the motion of the box, the frictional force is just in opposite direction.

So,

$\boxed{\bold{\sf{Net \ Force = Force \ Applied \ - \ Frictional \ Force}}}$

Applying the values to the equation:

$\sf{\implies Net \ Force=250 -200}$

$\sf{\implies Net \ Force=50 \ N}$

$\huge{\boxed{\bold{\sf{\therefore Net \ Force=50 \ N}}}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer is 50N
