Question

Two forces 3N and 5 N act at a point on a body. The resulta
nt when they act at right angle is
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 6N.

Explanation:

Since the forces are perpendicular to each other, we can use the pythagorean theorem.

Suppose a triangle ABC will be formed in which AB is 3N and BC is 5N.

Then, AC^2 = AB ^2 + BC ^2

AC^2 = 3^2 + 5^2

AC^2 = 9 + 25

AC^2 = 36

AC ^2 = 6^2

AC = 6

SO THE RESULTANT FORCE WILL BE 6 N
