Question

) If the maximum and minimum resultant of two forces acting

on a particle are 60 kN and 20 kN respectively. Determine the

magnitude of the two forces.​

Answer 1

Answer:

2N

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum value=7N

Minimum value =3N

So, Let the two forces be A and B,

A/C to given condition,

∣A+B∣=7N....1

∣A−B∣=3N....2

Adding equation 1 and 2 then we get,

A+B+A−B=10N

A=5N

Put the value in equation 1 then we get,

A+B=7N

B=2N

Thus, the magnitude of the small force is 2N
