Question

Four forces are exerted on each of the two objects shown below:

Answer 1

Answer:

A: Object A will move in the up direction. But not object B

Explanation:

It will move in the up direction because object A has an unbalanced force. For the up direction there, it is 6 newtons and for the bottom direction, it is 2 newtons. For the right and left direction, both of them are 3 newtons. So object A will move in the up direction because it has the most newtons(which is 6).

For Object B, it is unbalanced too. But object B will move to the right because it is 2 newtons there and there is one newton on the left. Furthermore, the up and down directions are 3 newtons. So they are balanced and will cancel out. Therefore, object A will move in the right direction because it has the most newtons(which is 3).

So the final answer is object A. Hope it helped!
