Answer 1

The resultant force of two equal Parrel forces acting in opposite direction in same line of action is -

Answer 2

Answer:

•Magnitudes of two parallel forces given to us are 4N and 6N respectively.

For two parallel forces, if they are directed in the same direction then the resultant force is equal to 10N and if they are directed in opposite directions then the resultant force is equal to 2N.

In this case the resultant force can be calculated by calculating the position of force.

Resultant force = 4+6 = 10 N

•Now, the position of resultant force could be found by taking the mean as,

4N×x=6N×(4−x)⇒4x=24−6x⇒10x=24⇒x=2.4m

So, we found that the resultant force 10N will be acting at 2.4m from the point where 4N force is applied.

•Hence the answer is 10N at 2.4m from 4N force.
