Question

calculate the value of net force acting on given body?5N acting towards right & 15N force acting towards left on the brick.(draw fbd)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The net force acting on the body is 10N directed to the left.

Explanation:

   Magnitude of force to the right = 5N

   Magnitude of force to the left  = 15N

Net force acting on the object and in what direction;

Solution:

It is the vector sum of all forces acting on a body. This net force is the single force that will replace the forces acting on a body;

  For the problem;

   Net force  = Force to the left + Force to the right

 Let us take left to be negative and right to be positive;

    Force to the left  = -15N

    Net force  = -15N + 5N  = -10N

The net force acting on the body is 10N directed to the left.
