Question

Rahul applied of force of 60 Newton on a on table in one direction Arun applied a force of 100 Newton in the opposite direction calculate the result force

Answer 1

Answer:

resultant force is 40

Explanation:

the resultant forces opposite force cancel each other 100-60=40

Answer 2

Answer:

The magnitude of resultant force, F = 40N

The direction of resultant force F is same as the greater force that is the force applied by Arun ($F_2$)

Explanation:

Let the force applied by Rahul is taken as $F_1$ and the force applied by Arun is taken as $F_2$.

 Magnitude of $F_1$ = 60N

 Magnitude of $F_2$ = 100N

The magnitude of resultant Force , F = $F_2 - F_1 = 100-60 = 40 N$.

The direction of resultant force F is same as the greater force that is the force applied by Arun ($F_2$)
