Question

Q2 Rita is using a cane as she takes a walk. She is pushing down on her cane with a force of 400N. Earth's gravity is pulling down on the
cane with a force of 15N. The ground is pushing up on the cane with a force of 415N. What is the net force acting on the cane?

Answer 1

Answer:

Net force - 0 N

Explanation:

Force pulling toward earth = 400 + 15 = 415 N

Force pushing up away from earth = 415 N

Therefore, net force on cane = 415 - 415 = 0
