Question

1. what is the resultant force? a) 0 n balanced b) 400 n right c) 40 n right d) 40 n left

Explanation:

Step1: Identify forces' directions

Both forces are to the right.

Step2: Calculate resultant force

Since the forces act in the same direction, we add them. The magnitude of each force is $20\ N$, so the resultant force $F = 20\ N+20\ N=40\ N$ and the direction is to the right.

Answer:

c) 40 N right
