Question

Calculate the value of net force acting on given body?5N acting towards right & 15N force acting towards left on the brick.(draw fbd)

please help!!!!!​

Answer 1

-10N to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The net force on a body is the single force that represent all the forces acting on a body.

Let the right direction be positive

Let the left direction be negative

Force acting to the right = 5N

Force acting to the left = -15N

Net force = 5N + (-15N) = -10N

The net force will be directed -10N to the left.
