Question

Calculate the net force of 200N and 600N.

Answer 1

Answer:

400 N down

Explanation:

600-200

as the downward force is more the net force will also be in downward direction

Answer 2

Answer:

400 N down

Explanation:

The net force of 200 N and 600 N is,

600 N - 200 N = 400 N

This is an unbalanced force.

According to the unbalanced force, the object will move in the direction of greater force.

Here,

Force of gravity > Force of air

                    (i.e)

               600 N > 200 N

Force of gravity is greater and is acting downwards.

Therefore,

The answer is 400 N down.
