Question

The train above is traveling at a constant velocity because the forces acting on it are in equilibrium. Therefore, the missing force must have a magnitude (blank) of newtons to the (blank).

Answer 1

Answer:

The missing force has a magnitude of 800 N to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

The forces acting on the train are in equilibrium.

This means that the sum of all the forces acting in the right direction equals the sum of all the forces acting in the left direction

Let the missing force be represented by F

1700 = 900 + F

F = 1700 - 900

F = 800 N

Therefore, the missing force has a magnitude of 800 N to the right
