The forces acting on a wooden block are shown in the figure given alon

1.	The forces acting on a wooden block are shown in the figure given alongside. Find the resultant of the forces and the direction of the resultant force.
Answer» Total forces acting downwards = 2 N + 22 N = 24 N Total forces acting upwards = 8 N + 14 N = 22 N Resultant force = Difference between the magnitude of forces = 24 N – 22 N = 2 N . The wooden block will move in the downward direction with the resultant force of 2 N acting on it.

The forces acting on a wooden block are shown in the figure given alongside. Find the resultant of the forces and the direction of the resultant force.

Answer»

Total forces acting downwards = 2 N + 22 N = 24 N

Total forces acting upwards = 8 N + 14 N = 22 N

Resultant force = Difference between the magnitude of forces = 24 N – 22 N = 2 N .

The wooden block will move in the downward direction with the resultant force of 2 N acting on it.
