The net force on the barge is 8000 N
Explanation:
In order to find the net force on the badge, we have to use the rules of vector addition, since force is a vector quantity.
In this problem, we have two forces:
- The force of tugboat A,
, acting in a certain direction
- The force of tugboat B,
, also acting in the same direction
Since the two forces act in the same direction, this means that we can simply add their magnitudes to find the net combined force on the barge. Therefore, we get
and the direction is the same as the direction of the two forces.

"A.What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the point in question?
B.<span>What would be the magnitude and direction of the force acting on a proton placed at this same point in the electric field?"</span>
<span>Solution:
A) A charge q </span>under an electric field of intensity E will experience a force F equal to:
In our problem we have and
, so we can find the magnitude of the electric field:
The charge is negative, therefore it moves against the direction of the field lines. If the force is pushing down the charge, then the electric field lines go upward.
B) The proton charge is equal to
Therefore, the magnitude of the force acting on the proton will be
And since the proton has positive charge, the verse of the force is the same as the verse of the field, so upward.
