Question

80 N and 60 N force act concurrently on a point. find magnitude of the vector sum if the forces pull

-in the same direction
-in opposite direct.
-at right angles to each other

Answer 1

• 140N
• 20N
• 100N

Step-by-step explanation:

• In the same direction (add them)

80 + 60 = 140N

• In the opposite direction (subtract them)

80 - 60 = 20N

• At right angles to each other (pythagoren theorem)

80^2 + 60^2 = c^2

6400 + 3600 = c^2

10000 = c^2

100 = c

Best of Luck!
