Question

what if two equal forces act in the opposite directions on an object the net force acting on it is

Answer 1

If two forces acts on body in opposite direction of equal magnitude...then both the forces cancel out the force effects acting on the body....and the body is in translational equilibrium. ..means the net force acting on it is zero....

Answer 2

If two forces acts in opposite direction of an object then one force will be negetive of others.

So net force= difference of the two forces

The object will move in the direction opposite to greater force.

So if equal force will applied than net force will be zero which means object will not move from its place at all.

Hope it helps you a lot......
