Question

Two forces having magnitude 3.5N and 5.5N are acting on a body .what will be resultant of their possible sum ??

Answer 1

Hey mate

Resultant depend on the angle between the two forces

I'm assuming two cases here

** First case --

When both are in same direction...
resultant will be sum i.e.
= 5.5+3.5 = 9N

** Second case --

When both forces are in opposite direction..
resultant will be difference of the magnitude i.e.
= 5.5-3.5 = 2N

Hope it helps

Thanks

Answer 2

It depends on the angle between the forces.the maximum value of their sum is 3.5+5.5=9Nand the minimum value is 5`5-3.5=2N
