Question

find the net force 10 n 8 n 12 n
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

If they are on the same direction, they would add to get the required net force. i.e, (8+12+10)N=30 N.

If one or two of them are in opposite with respect to other(s), then there will be minus (subtraction) in the calculation of the required net force. For example, if 8 N is in opposite direction with respect to others, then, calculation would be,(10+12–8)N=14 N.

If they are mutually perpendicular with each other, the net force would be[math]\sqrt{{8}^2+{12}^2+{10}^2}[/math]

If each of them are in three possible directions and if the measured angle between any of the pair of three forces is other than [math]0^{\circ}[/math], [math]90^{\circ}[/math], [math]180^{\circ}[/math], [math]270^{\circ}[/math], [math]360^{\circ}[/math], then,
