Net force on the box.
Answer to Problem 2A
Net force acting on the box is 10 N.
Explanation of Solution
Given :
Box is pulled right with a force of,
Box is pulled left with a force of,
Formula used:
Net force on any body is the sum of total force acting on the body.
Calculation :
Let, force acting on the box in right direction is positive then force acting in left direction will be negative.
Therefore,
Now, substituting the value of
Conclusion :
Therefore, net force acting on the box is 10 N.
