two forces each of magnitude 10newton act in opposite direction at the end of the table if the length of the table is 50centimeter calculate.The resultant force and moment acting on the table.

0,0.5

To calculate the resultant force and moment acting on the table, we need to first determine the net force created by the two opposing forces.

1. Start by converting the length of the table from centimeters to meters:
50 centimeters = 0.5 meters.

2. Since the two forces are equal in magnitude and act in opposite directions, they cancel each other out. The net or resultant force is zero.

Now let's calculate the moment acting on the table:

3. Moment is the twisting force around a fixed point or axis. In this case, we need to choose a point of reference or axis.

4. Assuming the center of the table as the axis, the moment created by each force is given by multiplying the force by the perpendicular distance from the axis.

5. Since the forces act in opposite directions, the moments they create will have opposite signs.

6. The distance from the center of the table to the end is half the length of the table, which is 0.25 meters.

7. The moment created by each force is calculated as follows:
Moment = Force × Distance
Moment = 10 N × 0.25 m = 2.5 Nm

8. As the moments created by the two forces are in opposite directions, their sum will be the difference of their magnitudes:
Net Moment = |Moment1| - |Moment2|
Net Moment = |2.5 Nm| - |-2.5 Nm|
Net Moment = 2.5 Nm + 2.5 Nm = 5 Nm

So, the resultant force acting on the table is zero, and the net moment acting on the table is 5 Nm.
