Question

Find the net force acting on the box and the direction in which the box will
move​

Answer 1

Answer:

(F1+F2)-F3

=(2+8)-6

=10-6

=4N(LEFT TO RIGHT)

Answer 2

The net force acting on the box is +4 Newton and since, the force is positive the box will move from left to right.

Given:

F1 = +2N (left to right)

F2 = +8N (left to right)

F3 = -6N (right to left)

To Find:

The net force acting on the box and the direction in which the box will

move​.

Solution:

Net force is defined as the sum of all the forces (negative or positive) acting on an object.

Here the given forces are,

F1 = +2N (left to right)

F2 = +8N (left to right)

F3 = -6N (right to left)

According to the definition of net force,

F(net) = F1 + F2 + F3

= 2 + 8 + (-6)

=+4 Newton

Therefore, the net force acting on the box is +4 Newton and since, the force is positive the box will move from left to right.
