A force of 15 N toward the WEST is applied to a 4.0 kg box. Another force of 42 N toward the EAST is also applied to the 4.0 kg box. The net force on the 4.0 kg box
is

Respuesta :

Answer :

[tex]\implies F_1 < F_2[/tex]

[tex] \implies F_{net} = F_2 - F1[/tex]

[tex]\implies F_{net} = 42 -15[/tex]

[tex]\implies \underline{ \boxed{ F_{net} = 27 \: N}}[/tex]

The net force on the 4.0 kg box is 27 N towards EAST.
