Question

Two forces of 10 N and 6 N act upon a body. The direction of the forces are unknown. The resultant force on the body may be (A) 15 N (B) 3 N (C) 17 N (D) 2 N

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The resultant of two vectors always lie between (A+B) &(A-B). So the resultant of 10 N 6 N should lie between 16 N 4 N. So answer is 15 N.

Q. Two forces of $10 N$ and $6 N$ act upon a body. The direction of the forces are unknown. The resultant force on the body may be

15 N

3 N

17 N

2 N

The resultant of two vectors always lie between $(A + B) & (A - B)$ .
So the resultant of $10 N &6 N$ should lie between $16 N &4 N$ .
So answer is $15 N$ .
