If a 5N and a 15 N forces are acting opposite to one another . Find the resultant force and the direction of action of the resultant force

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The two force are unlike parallel forces
Let `P=5N, Q=15N`
`therefore" Resultant force (R )"=P-Q`
`=5+(-15)=-10N`
`R=-10N.`
`therefore` The resultant force acting along the direction of ..Q...
