Question:A system is acted upon by two forces,and. What is the net force acting on the system?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The net force acting on the system is-2,34,18N

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the definition of net force

A force is described as a push or pull on an object that occurs due to the interaction of one system with a different system. When two items interact, each of them experiences a force.

02

Calculation for the net force

To calculate the net force acting on this system, combine all of the forces together.

Add both the given forces as,

→Fnet=→F1+→F2

Substitute the values in the above expression.

→Fnet=18,47,-23N+-20,-13,41N=-2,34,18N

Therefore, the net force acting on the system is-2,34,18N.
