The molecules of ice stick together in the process of cohesion. They are tightly packed so there isn't much room to move. Liquid water is a looser hold. The molecules can go past one another, and they will take the shape of whatever container they occupy. Water vapor is loosely contained, and it will will fill whatever container it is kept in, and it will take its shape, too.
Equilibrium force is the force that will keep the small
mass in place, hence no movement must be made. So we know that 32 N of force is
acted towards the positive direction so +32 N. Which is counteracted by 26 N
force so:
32 N – 26 N = 6 N (positive)
Since positive 6 is left, therefore this must be acted by
an equilibrant negative 6 N.
Answer:
<span>- 6 N </span>
Coefficients is your answer. I hope I helped:)
