Question: A net force of 16 N [40° W of N] is caused by two applied forces acting on the same object. These two forces are: A) 10 N [W] and 12 N [N] B) 12 N [W] and 10 N [N] C) 14 N [W] and 12 N [N] D) 12 N [W] and 14 N [N] E) 10 N [W] and 14 N [N]

Respuesta :

the answer is C.......

A net force of 16 N [40° W of N] is caused by two applied forces acting on the same object. These two forces are:  12 N [N] and 10 N [W] . The correct option is A.

What is force?

The force is defined as the shear stress or pressure applied per unit area.

F = P/A

Given is a net force of 16 N [40° W of N] is caused by two applied forces acting on the same object.

A force F inclined to some axis or reference by angle θ has two components F cosθ and F sinθ.

For a given force, components will be

16cos40° = 12.257 N or 12N North

16sin40° = 10.28 N or 10N West

Thus, the correct components are  12 N [N] and 10 N [W]
