Question

what is the net force on an object if two people are pushing on it to the right. Each applying a force of 50 N . There is a frictional force of 20 N to the left 80 N left120 N left100 N right 80 N right30 N right

Answer 1

GIven,

Two people push a object towards right each giving a force of 50 N .

Thus total force on the object is 50+50 N=100 N. to the right

The frictional force is 20 N to the left

Thus the net force on the object is (100-20)N=80 N towards right.

The answer is 80 N towards right
