Question

Two dogs are pulling on a chew toy. One dog pulls the chew toy with 64 N (E) and

the other pulls the chew toy with 31 N [W]. Determine the NET FORCE acting on
the chew toy.

Answer 1

33 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

One dog pulls the chew toy with 64 N (E) and the other pulls the chew toy with 31 N [W].

We need to find the net force acting on the chew toy. Let East be taken positive and west be taken negative. So,

`F_(net)=+64+(-31)\\\\=33\ N`

So, the net force acting on the chew toy is equal to 33 N.
