Question

What is the resultant force acting on a body when two forces of magnitude 850 N and 954 N are acting on it in the same and in different direction?

Answer 1

Answer:

when they are acting on same direction then forces will be added

that is 850+ 954 N= 1804N

If they are in opposite direction then they will be subtracted

that is 954- 850= 104N

Answer 2

Answer:

Resultant force when two forces are acting in the same direction is 1804N and in different direction is 104N.

Explanation:

Given the magnitude of two forces acting on a body, $F_1=850 N ~\mbox{and}~ F_2=954 N$

(i) When both the forces are acting in same direction, then the resultant force will be the sum of the two forces.

Therefore, the resultant force of the given forces when they are acting in the same direction is

$F=850+ 954 = 1804N$

(ii) [Assuming different direction means opposite direction]

When both the forces are acting in opposite direction, then the resultant force will be the difference of the two forces.

Therefore, the resultant force of the given forces when they are acting in the opposite direction is

$F= 954+(-850)= 954-850=104N$
