Question

What is the net force on these free body diagrams?

Answer 1

A

The horizontal force cancels out. The two 4Ns go in opposite directions. So they don't affect the outcome.

The Vertical force is 6N up - 2 N down = 4 N Up

Answer 4 N up

B

The horizontal and vertical forces cancel out. Each gives 3N - 3N =0

The net force is 0

C

You only have horizontal forces on this one

5N - 3N = 2N  

The answer is 2N to the right.

Answer 2

A).  4N up

B).  zero

C).  2N right
