Question

Calculate the net force from the following diagrams

Answer 1

A N S W E R :

As we need to calculate Fnet and we know that force is a quantity possessing magnitude and direction ,so, we need to consider the directions also with the numeric values of the forces applied on the blocks.

The forces in opposite directions are to be subtracted from each other and the forces in same direction or parallel are to be added to each other. The resultant force will be in the higher magnitude force direction.

got it !!
