Question

the sum of two forces at a point is 16 newton if the resultant is normal to smaller force and has value of 18 newton find two forces​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the magnitude of smaller force be x Newton. So, the magnitude of larger force be (16 - x) Newton, as their sum is 16 N. And, the magnitude if larger force is given by, (16 - x) = (16 - 6) = 10N. Hence, the smaller force is 6N and the larger force is 10N.
