An object is on a horizontal surface,three force act horizontal on the object.3N to the left,12N to the right,in to the left.at the same time,another three force act vertically on the object,4N upwards,10N downward,2N downwards determine the resultant horizontal and vertical force acting on the object
I don't know the answer
To determine the resultant horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object, we need to calculate the net horizontal and vertical forces separately.
Let's start with the horizontal forces:
1. The force of 3N to the left is positive (-3N).
2. The force of 12N to the right is negative (-12N).
3. The force inward to the left is negative (-N) since you mentioned "in to the left."
Adding these forces together: -3N + (-12N) + (-N) = -16N.
So, the net horizontal force acting on the object is -16N to the left.
Now let's calculate the vertical forces:
1. The force of 4N upwards is positive (+4N).
2. The force of 10N downwards is negative (-10N).
3. The force of 2N downwards is also negative (-2N).
Adding these forces together: +4N + (-10N) + (-2N) = -8N.
So, the net vertical force acting on the object is -8N downward.
Therefore, the resultant horizontal force is -16N to the left, and the resultant vertical force is -8N downward.
