Question

Explain the forces in the diagram below (up, down,left and right). Try to use science vocabulary in your explanation. (Balanced and unbalanced)

Answer 1

The 2 forces in the up and down directions are completely balanced and will result in a net force in the up and down direction of 0. The forces left and right are unbalanced. That means the greater force will have a net pull in that direction of the difference between the two directions. 632 - 487 = 145 N in the right direction is the net force.
