Question

What is the definition magnitude?

Answer 1

Answer:

The measurment or the streangth & amount of force is called manitude force

Explanation:

Two or more forces on the same object can be applied in the same direction and opposite

direction.

1. When two or more forces are applied over an object in the same direction:

When two or more forces are applied in the same direction, then the total or net force is the

addition of magnitude of both the forces.

Example: When two persons push the box in the same direction with the magnitude of forces

of each 2 N, then resultant force will be-

Net force:- 2N + 2N= 4N (In the direction of applied force)

2. When two forces are applied over an object in the opposite direction:

When two forces are applied over an object in the opposite directions, the total effective or

net force is the difference of magnitude of two forces.

Example:

(i) When two persons push the box in the opposite direction with the magnitude of forces of

each 2 N, then resultant force will be-

Net force:- 2N - 2N= 0N (Box will not move)

Page 2 of

(ii) If one person is applying a force of 6 unit in one direction and another person is applying

a force of 8 unit in opposite direction,

Then the resultant force: 8N - 6N= 2N (In the direction of higher magnitude force)

In this case, force will act in the direction of higher magnitude of force.

Answer 2
