Two parallel forces of magnitude 4 and 6 newton are acting on a body placed at 4m apart. Resultant force will be
To find the resultant force, we can use the concept of vector addition for parallel forces.
Parallel forces are forces that have the same line of action but act in opposite directions. In this case, we have two parallel forces of magnitudes 4 N and 6 N acting on a body placed 4 m apart.
The resultant force can be found by adding the magnitudes of the two forces and assigning a sign to indicate the direction. Since the forces are acting in the same line, we can simply add their magnitudes together.
Resultant force = 4 N + 6 N = 10 N
Therefore, the resultant force will be 10 Newtons.
