Kinematics Question 8
Question: A particle is simultaneously acted by two forces equal to 4 N and 3 N. The net force on the particle is [CPMT 1979]
Options:
A) 7 N
B) 5 N
C) 1 N
D) Between 1 N and 7 N
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
If two vectors $ \vec{A} $ and $ \vec{B} $ are given then the resultant
$ {R _{max}} $ = $ A+B=7N $ and $ {R _{\min }}=4-3=1N $
i.e. net force on the particle is between 1 N and 7 N.
