Question

If you had two forces, one with a magnitude of 25 N and the other with a magnitude of 100N, what would be the maximum net force these forces could exert on an object? How would these forces have to be applied in order to exert this maximum net force?

Answer 1

Two force yield a maximum effect when in the same direction.

When they are in the same direction, they can be added : the resulting force will be 100+25=125 N
