Question

Find the resultant of the following four forces ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Subtract the magnitude of the smaller force from the magnitude of the bigger force to get the resulting force.

Explanation:

• When an item is subjected to many forces, the resultant force is the force that creates the same acceleration as all of the other forces combined.
• For example, if four forces occur on a block and cause it to accelerate 1 m/s2 south, the resultant force is the force that would cause the block to accelerate 1 m/s2 south if applied alone to the block.
• The resultant force is helpful because it allows us to consider many forces as if they were a single force. This indicates that we just need to identify the influence of a single force to determine the effect of numerous forces on an item.
