Question

Calculate the resultant force acting in the opposite directions:-

answer asap

Answer 1

Magnitude of the resultant force will be 20N in the direction of
`F_2`.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's given in the question that two forces have been applied on the object given.

Since force is a vector quantity, therefore, it has magnitude and direction both.

`F_1=20N`

`F_2=40N`

Both the forces are in the opposite directions.

Therefore, magnitude of the resultant force of these forces will be,

`F_2-F_1=40-20`

= 20 N

And the direction of the resultant force will be towards
`F_2`.

Therefore, magnitude of the resultant force will be 20N in the direction of
`F_2`.
