Question

Jack and Rob try to move the new couch. Jack pulls with 30N of force and Rob pushes with 25 N of force.

Net Force = (your answer)
Body Diagram or Explanation = (your answer)

Answer 1

Fr = 55 [N]

Step-by-step explanation:

We must perform a free body diagram to understand the forces acting on the couch. In the attached image we see the force that Jack exerts just like that of Rob acting in the same direction.

We must perform a summation of force on the X-axis, to determine the resulting force.

∑Fx = Fr

Fr = 30 + 25

Fr = 55 [N]
