Two force vectors point in opposite directions. If their magnitudes are 3.53 newtons and 7.29 newtons, then what is the magnitude of their sum?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3.76 N

Explanation:

We are given that two force vectors point in opposite directions.

Let

[tex]\mid F_1\mid=7.29N[/tex]

[tex]\mid F_2\mid=-3.53[/tex]

Because second force act in opposite direction.

We have to find the magnitude of sum of two forces.

We know that triangle law of addition

Resultant sum=[tex]\mid F_1\mid+\mid F_2\mid[/tex]

Substitute the values then we get

Resultant sum of two forces=[tex]7.29-3.53[/tex]

Resultant sum of two forces=3.76 N

Hence, the magnitude of sum of two forces=3.76 N
