Question
Solve the following numerical problem.
Two horses pull a cart in the same direction with a force of 500 N each. Find the resultant force acting on the cart.

Solution
The horses pull in the same direction. Therefore, the resultant force acting on the cart = sum of both the forces
= 500 N + 500 N = 1000 N
The resultant force of 1000 N will act in the same direction as the individual forces on the cart.
