Question
Solve the following numerical problem.
Two persons are pushing a car with a force of 30 N and 70 N in opposite directions. Calculate the resultant force and its direction.

Solution
Force acting in one direction = 30 N
Force acting in opposite direction = 70 N
Resultant force = Difference between the magnitude of force
= 70 N – 30 N = 40 N
The car will move in the direction in which the force of 70 N is being applied. The resultant force of 40 N will act in the car.
