Answer 1

Answer:

10N right

Explanation:

First, we need to find the base of the triangle to find the force acting on the right of the object.

• We have been given the hypotenuse and we need to find the adjacent, so we are using cos
• SOH, CAH, TOA
• cos(θ) = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse

Next, sub in the values (we don't know the adjacent so i've called it x):

• cos(60) = x ÷ 60

To find x, we need to multiply both sides by 60

• 60 × cos(60) = x
• x = 30 N

Now we know all the forces, we can work out the net force:

• Both of the 40N cancel out because they are opposite forces
• The force on the right of the object is 10N stronger than the force on the left (30N - 20N), so the object would move to the right
