Question
An object with a weight of 10N is being pulled along the ground to the right by two ropes each providing 3N of force. The object also experiences a resistive force of 3N due to friction.What is the resultant force acting on the object?
Solution
The resultant force acting on an object is the sum of all the forces acting on it.
Here, the forces acting on the object are:
- Two ropes each providing 3N of force. So, the total force due to the ropes is 2*3N = 6N.
- A resistive force due to friction which is 3N.
The resultant force is the total force due to the ropes minus the resistive force due to friction.
So, the resultant force = 6N - 3N = 3N.
Therefore, the resultant force acting on the object is 3N.
