Question

The vector sum of the forces 10N and 6N can be:
1) 2N
2) 8N
3) 18N
4) 20N

Answer 1

Answer:

Maximum resultant of vectors = 10 + 6 = 16 N

Minimum resultant of vectors = 10 - 6 = 4 N

Force should lie in between maximum and minimum resultant of vectors.

In given options all except (b) are not in the range of maximum and minimum resultant of vectors. Hence correct option is (b)

Answer 2

The vector sum of the forces 10N and 6N can be:

2) 8N
