Question
Solve the following numerical problem.
The forces acting on a wooden block are shown in the figure given alongside. Find the resultant of the forces and the direction of the resultant force.
Advertisements
Solution
Total forces acting downwards = 2 N + 22 N = 24 N
Total forces acting upwards = 8 N + 14 N = 22 N
Resultant force = Difference between the magnitude of forces = 24 N – 22 N = 2 N .
The wooden block will move in the downward direction with the resultant force of 2 N acting on it.
