How to solve this?? Ahh I dont understand net force
Answer: -10N or 10N down
Explanation:
Net force is defined as the sum of all forces acting upon an object.
In the picture above, the forces acting on the object are:
30 N down
20 N up
Note that 30 N can also be rewritten as : -30 N
We do this to indicate the direction of a force; either down or left.
In the case above, since there is a downward pull of 30N, it can be rewritten it as -30N.
Since net force is a sum, we should add all the forces acting upon it, therefore:
-30 N + 20 N = -10 N
Final answer: -10 N
-10N can also be rewritten as : 10N downward
If you want to omit the negative sign, you should indicate that the direction is downward.
What does -10N or 10N down mean?
It means that the downward pull is 10N stronger than that upward pull.
Hope this helps :)
