A body is under the action of two forces 7 newton and 10 newton. Find the resultant of the two forces if the forces are parallel and act in the same direction

Respuesta :

Answer:

17 N

Explanation:

this is because in the calculation of vector /newtons

you must decide which direction is positive and the opposite direction will be negative,

so let's suppose right is positive,

and both the forces are in right direction,

so both are positive,

7 N + 10N = 17 N

but if one was in the opposite direction then, one would be negative
