Explain how the arithmetic sum of the two forces can be greater than the load.

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: Force is a vector. If you have one force pointed northeast and another northwest the east/west component would cancel each other out. The arithmatic sum of their magnitudes is the whole force. If you have equal forces, one going north and one south, the net force would be 0 no matter how large the arithmetic sum might be.

What is a transverse wave

Gnom [1K]

A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular (or right angled) to the direction of energy transfer. If a transverse wave is moving in the positive x-direction, its oscillations are in up and down directions that lie in the y–z plane. Light is an example of a transverse wave.
