Two forces 130 N (upward) and 79N (downward) act on an object of mass 79 kg. What is the free body diagram for the situation? What is the net force on the object?

Final answer:

The free body diagram for the object would have arrows for the 130 N upward force and the 79 N downward force. The net force experienced by the object is 51 N in the upward direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to drawing a free body diagram and calculating the net force on an object when two forces are acting upon it. Assuming the forces are applied vertically, the free body diagram for the situation described would show one arrow pointing upwards representing the 130 N force and another arrow pointing downwards representing the 79 N force. The net force can be determined by subtracting the downward force from the upward force.

The net force is calculated as:

  • Net force = Upward force - Downward force
  • Net force = 130 N - 79 N
  • Net force = 51 N (upward)

Therefore, the object experiences a net force of 51 N directed upward.
