Question

One of the components of a 50N force is 25N. Find the other component of the force.

a) 30N
b) 40N
c) 25N
d) 20N

Answer 1

The other component of the force is 25N.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the other component of the force, we can use the concept of vector addition. Let's call the other component Fx. Since the total force is the sum of its components, we can write:

Fx + 25N = 50N

Subtracting 25N from both sides, we get:

Fx = 50N - 25N = 25N

Therefore, the other component of the force is 25N.
