Answer:
Magnitude of the resultant force will be 20N in the direction of [tex]F_2[/tex].
Explanation:
It's given in the question that two forces have been applied on the object given.
Since force is a vector quantity, therefore, it has magnitude and direction both.
[tex]F_1=20N[/tex]
[tex]F_2=40N[/tex]
Both the forces are in the opposite directions.
Therefore, magnitude of the resultant force of these forces will be,
[tex]F_2-F_1=40-20[/tex]
= 20 N
And the direction of the resultant force will be towards [tex]F_2[/tex].
Therefore, magnitude of the resultant force will be 20N in the direction of [tex]F_2[/tex].
