Question

Tilak and Mangal were exerting forces F1(135 N) and F2(265 N) on the box.Find the resultant force

and the direction in which the box will move if,both forces act in

(i)same direction

(ii)opposite direction​

Answer 1

Answer:-

• F1=135N
• F2=265N

Here

F2>F1

In opposite direction:-

We know

$\boxed{\sf F_{net}=F_2-F_1}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto F_{net}=265-135$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto F_{net}=130N$

Box will move Towards Tilak.

In same direction:-

$\\ \sf\longmapsto F_{net}=F_1+F_2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto F_{net}=265+135$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto F_{net}=400N$

Box will move forward.

Answer 2

Answer: in case one , answer is 400 N . with direction same as of force.in case two , answer is 130 N in direction of force that mangal exerted.

Explanation: case 1 ;

135+265=400

because direction is same

case 2 ;

265-135=130

because directions are opposite
