Question

gopi and raghav are pushing each other with same force but in opposite direction, the net resultant force is ___​

Answer 1

• Force is a vector quantity because it has magnitude as well as direction.

• Forces can be vectorically added.

• If two forces are applied in the same direction they they add up.

• Here, the force applied by gopi and raghav are of same magnitude but the direction is different.

• So, if we assume the force applied by gopi as 'x', then the force applied by raghav will be '-x'

Resultant force = x + (-x)

                         =0

So, the net resultant force will be zero.

Answer 2

• As we know that the Force is a vector quantity because it has magnitude as well as direction.
• And the Forces can be vector added.
• So, If two forces are applied in the same direction they add up.
• Here, the force applied by gopi and Raghav is of the same magnitude but the direction is different.
• So, if we assume the force applied by gopi as X, then the force applied by Raghav will be $-X$

        Resultant force   $= x + (-x)$

                                     $=0$

Hence, the net resultant force will be zero.
