Question

An object is under the action of three pulling forces, one (20 N from its front side and the rest (34 N and 3 N) from its back side. The net force is directed towards ____.

  1. 20 N
  2. 34 N
  3. Both 1 and 2
  4. None of the above

hintHint:

The direction of the net force of an object that has 20 N, 34 N, and 3 N forces from opposite sides will be towards the direction of 34 N force.

The correct answer is: 34 N


    • The direction of the net force will be towards the direction of the greater force.
    • When a pulling force is applied to an object from the opposite direction with different magnitudes, the net force will be directed towards the greater force.
    • For an object that has the forces of 20 N from one side and 34 N and 3 N from another side, the net force will be towards the force of 34 N as it is the greater force.
