Question

A particle is simultaneously acted by two forces equal to 4 N and 3 N. The net force on the particle is ______.

Options

• 7 N

• 5 N

• 1 N

• Between 1 N and 7 N

Answer 1

A particle is simultaneously acted by two forces equal to 4 N and 3 N. The net force on the particle is between 1 N and 7 N.

Explanation:

If two vectors \[\vec A\] and \[\vec B\] are given then the resultant R_max = A + B = 7 N and R_min = 4 -3 = 1 N i.e., net force on the particle is in between 1 N and 7 N.
