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 N -50 N 50 kg 50 kg 250 N
The net force of the system is determined by finding the sum of the forces.
Given that the man exerts a force of 100 N downward (negative value), and the spring exerts a force of 150 N upward, we add these forces together.
100 N (downward) + 150 N (upward) = 250 N (upward)
Therefore, the net force of this system is +250 N (upward).
