Suppose a man is sitting on a chair and exerting 100 N of force downward, while a spring beneath the chair exerts 150 N of force upward. If you assign a negative value to the downward force, what is the net force of this system?(1 point) Responses 50 N 50 N 50 kg 50 kg 250 N 250 N -50 N
The net force of the system is the sum of the two forces, taking into account the direction. Since the downward force is assigned a negative value, we have:
Net force = -100 N + 150 N
= 50 N
Therefore, the net force of this system is 50 N.
