Two brothers push on a box from opposite directions. If one brother pushes with a force of 86 N and the other brother pushes with a force of 67 N, what is the magnitude of the net force on the box?

Respuesta :

Answer:

 R=19 N

Explanation:

Given that forces are taking opposite to each other.

Take

F₁ = 86 N ( Towards right ,take positive)

F₂ = - 67 N ( Towards left)

Given that the angle between above two forces is 180° so the resultant can be given as

Lets take the resultant = R N

R= F₁ + F₂

Now by putting the values

R= 86 N - 67 N

R=19 N

Therefore the resultant force on the block box will be 19 N.
