Question

The image given below shows a block in which two unequal forces are acting upon it. What would be the net resultant force acting on the block?

a) The resultant force is 20 N as the two forces are acting in the same direction.
b) The resultant force is 530 N as the two forces are acting in opposite direction.
c) The resultant force is 20 N as the two forces are acting in opposite direction.
d) The resultant force is 530 N as the two forces are acting in the same direction.

Answer 1

Answer:

c)

Explanation:

Since these are unbalances forces, net resultant would be

f1 - f2 = 275 - 255 = 20N

thus, c) is the correct option
