Question

The resultant of two forces 35 N and 25 N acting along +x and –x axis respectively, is____________​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 10N +x-axis

Answer 2

Given:

Magnitude of force acting in +x axis = 35N

Magnitude of force acting in -x axis = 25N

To find:

The resultant of the two forces.

Solution:

To find the resultant of the two forces can be found out by adding the two forces along with their signs.

Since the force of 35N is acting in +x direction, then let us consider +x axis as positive direction so the force will be +35N.

And the force acting in -x direction will be -25N.

Therefore the resultant of the forces will be:

=35 N - 25 N

=10 N

Thus, the resultant of the two forces will be 10 N in +x direction.
