Question

Two like parallel forces are acting at a distance of 24 mm apart and their resultant is 20 N. It the line of action of the resultant is 6 mm from any given force, the two forces are

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

F1+F2=20--------(1)

F1(24-6)-F2(6)=0--(2)

18F1-6F2=0

18F1=6F2

F1/F2=6/18

F1/F2=1/3

Now 1:3 ratio

F1=5,F2=15
