Can we add a vector representing a force of ` 10 N` to a vector of force ` 2000 ` dune.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Force is a vector quantity. The two forces can be added by jaws of vectors , parallelogram law of vectors which is possible if we know the angle between the two forces, As the angle beteween the two given forces is bot known, hence they can not be added.
